Timed capture using specified region
« on: November 23, 2012, 01:21 AM »
Hi. I'm new to this program and have a hopefully simple question. How do you get the program to use either a non-selected notepad window or specified region for an auto capture?

Thanks!

Capture > Use delay - Is that what you're looking for?

What I'm wanting to do is capture one area of my screen every hour. So I understand how to set the timed part but I don't know how to tell the program to capture only a part of the screen using the timed part. I can do it manually but that defeats the purpose.

Ok so if you go to the Pre-Capture options, you will see for the Auto Capture Timer, you can tell it what kind of capture to perform; if you select "Repeat Region", it should always be capturing the last region you selected for capture.

I think that's what you want -- so it will always be grabbing the specific region you first selected.

(Don't engage the delay, that's different from the Auto Capture Timer).

Let me know if that works for you!
