scr(eenSh)ot
Anyone knows a tool like scrot, but for Windows (PC!) ???
The main requirement:
a) neat (no overhead, a single exe)
b) command line (target img scale via parameters)
similar to a (not available) AHK cmd like this
Screenshot, X, Options, Delay, Filename
X : topmost left coordinate
Options : Xn Yn=region, F=fullscreen, A=active window
Delay : time to wait before the shot will be done |

| Sounds kinda neat. I'll add it to the to-do list as a fairly low priority item. If others post saying they would find it a highly useful alternative to the built-in Windows screen-print key, I'll raise its priority. |

The main benefit would be to shoot/get a specified region of the screen.
This way it would be posible to create a serial of shots during a preset period to identify a pattern eg. at a game.
ALT+Print (active window) and Print (fullscreen) would create to much overhead if only an img with a scale of eg. 20x20 px is needed.
X : topmost left coordinate, Ooops. a coord is always a XY combo
Hmm, another param
B : BMP
J : JPG
P : PNG |

[Scrot's Changelog]
btw: haven't found anything similar to Scrot . There are thousand others around, but all using a GUI (with dll's, ocx, ...) that's why I've requested it. Thx. |

I would find the same functionality useful.
I've tried using this

I think it fits the basic requirements, but it is $39, although there is a trial version

| I've raised the prioirity of that item a little. But realistically it will be at least a couple of months before I get to it unless someone else codes it. |
