 Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2006 12:46 am Post subject: Screenshot Hotkey |
 |
|
This script uses Irfanview's command line options to create a screenshot and then automatically save it to a specified directory, with the filename including a timestamp. It is based off of the script found here.
The template structure based off of toralf's template.ahk.
I cleaned up the base script and added in the functionality that comes with toralf's template.
Please let me know what you think, as this is my first time posting a script.
Update: I have updated this script to 1.3.2 based on user comments, as noted in the ChangeLog in the script.

This idea is repeating 
For those who dont want to deploy/use i_view but do it with pure ahk and no includes. By using DC and PrintWindow, you can even make Screenshots of windows behind others. Eg. Invisible Windows. (You could screenshot your Browser even if its behind others windows, etc.)
