SOLVED: Windows 10 OneDrive hijacks PrintScreen hotkey.

<< < (2/2)

clg:
Hello - I know this is an old topic (saw a relevant thread about the issue from 2015) but it didn't quite solve my problem completely:

What I'd like to have, if possible, is two ** different ** hotkeys/hotkey combos/keyboard shortcuts, one for Screenshot Captor and another for OneDrive. Reason being is that sometimes I need the quick convenience of OneDrive auto-uploading a screenshot to a static (meaning easy to find) folder, other times I need the power and rich configuration options of Screenshot Captor.

As a workaround to take OneDrive out of the picture (in a way that makes sense to me), I suppose I could turn off Autosave in OneDrive, and in Screenshot Captor specify the default save path as \\onedrive\pictures\screenshots. That's not terribly elegant though, so is there a better solution I haven't though of?

Thanks!

You can set whatever hotkeys you want for Screenshot Captor; I'm not sure about OneDrive.

Interesting. This requirement is much like mine. I arrived at an approach where I got to some kind of image management nirvana, where:

* I know where any screenshot captures and duplicates of same will have gone to.
* The "static folder" is in the CHS database images folder, which holds the image .png files saved.
The approach I have taken took me a while to figure out, but it had been staring me in the face for some time before the penny finally dropped. It has probably already saved me a lot of time and is described here for anyone who might want to try out the same approach:
Re: Modify your screen capture/management tools for optimum efficiency of use.

The description might seem to be a bit complex to follow initially - e.g., (say) if one is not used to systems/process analysis - but the proof of the pudding will be in the eating. It is actually quite simple in concept and simple to set up, and, once set up, requires no further work, other than periodically updating the 3 softwares used and housekeeping the image storage folders.

Hope it helps or is of use.

Thanks folks, I looked at both your posts. I don't do a ton of screenshots, so KISS for me. Just reassigned the PrntScr button in SSC. Duh... :-[

@clg: Well, that was easy!    :D
