Screenshot Captor - request: add caption automatically

[qwibbles]

Not sure how I missed this application while looking through the donation coder software.

I have used SPX Instant Screen Capture for years, as it seemed to be the only package that could take screenshots add a caption and autoname them the way I wanted.

Thanks to a bit of reading of the manual this time  . I no longer need to use SPX Instant Screen Capture. In fact this thing is on a par with Snag IT for the amount of functionality you get. (Add Paint.net and you're sorted.)

Anyway I digress, a big thanks to Mouser .... again.

Um ..... I think this post may have to be moved to the feature request section. 

It appears the add caption has to be triggered manually after each capture .... <insert words here>. I would like it automatically added.

Also the %customdate% is common for the caption and the file name.... however I would like to use  \  in the caption added to the image.

or ... maybe it's just me reading the manual wrong :-)

I am basically after the ability of the software to automatically save image with a given name which it does fine :-) but I would like it to add the caption automatically and then safe the output once or email the output.

Sorry for posting in the wrong section now .....

so what you want is for it to auto add a visible caption to the image.
this isnt very hard to add though you may be the only person on the planet that wants it.
let me take it under consideration -- it's not that i'm not willing to add it, it's just it may be something better left until i add a more general scripting/plugin support feature.

Thanks for the quick responce.

Yes a checkbox in the options which auto adds the caption to the screenshot would be great, that way I can perform multiple screenshots and the caption gets automatically added. (Also the custom date to support the '/', ':' or '\' in the caption only).

P.S. Scripting support would been even better .... :-) but I am not that greedy.

I know 3 other people who would use the function as they all use SPX Instant Capture.

I have an autoit script (from their forums) which triggers a screenshot via the printscreen while doing basic software testing (On Mouse Click). This acts as a record of what was entered on the screens during testing. (I know I should use WinRunner, QA Test or some other automated test suite ... but they cost a fair bit and I just do not need all the other functionality for the simple stuff with which I am involved).

I just want to know what was entered during testing without the  .. well I think i put this here but ... e.t.c. The 'tester' can enter the set of tests they are running in the quickfield and we are sorted.

Best Regards, Qwibbles

well let me see if i can't add it on the next update --
it's just gotten to the point where the options dialog of things to do "on capture" is getting silly and at this point a little scripting thing would make a lot more sense.

Hi, Mouser.

Any luck with a check box for this feature or the scripting functions? Or is there a way to automatically create an object file containing the required information?

This is a feature I would find helpful.
