Auto save screenshots
« on: February 25, 2017, 11:27 AM »
I have setup file naming of screenshots just the way I want them, and what I want is for Screenshot Captor to automatically save my screenshot, to my hard drive, without my having to interact with a popup dialogue box. I can't seem to find an option for this.

Good man -- this is what I always recommend to people and it was how Screenshot Captor was originally designed to function.

All you need to do is configure the "After Capture Show.." option to select "Stay Minimized".
This option is so important that there are 3 different places you can set it: In the system tray menu, In the post-capture pop-up dialog itself if you have that currently set, and in the preferences on the "Interface Options" tab at the top.

Let me know if you have any trouble.
