Quick Question
« on: December 27, 2016, 04:37 PM »
super embarrassed to ask this but, is there a way to capture without auto-saving?  I would rather it just copy to clipboard as I then paste it into the document directly.  I would prefer not to have to go through and delete the auto-saved images and then empty the recycle bin each time.  This functionality is in MWSnap but I can't seem to find how to reproduce it here ..

No reason to be embarrassed!

As you have guessed, Screenshot Captor is resistant to throwing out old screenshots.  That reflects my personal bias towards holding on to things in case you might need them later (SC does have some nice features for auto-filing old screenshots into folders based on date so they will stay out of your way).

However, there are a couple of ways to do what you want.  Here's one way:
  • Go the File Naming tab and change the "Default New File Name" to something that doesn't include the date, like "LastScreenshot".
  • Then UNCHECK the checkbox near the middle of the dialog labeled "Auto sequence new file names to avoid overwriting old files".
