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 Wink

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 Embarassed

Hmm, another param Rolling Eyes Laughing

B : BMP
J : JPG
P : PNG

[Scrot's Changelog]

btw: haven't found anything similar to Scrot Crying or Very sad . 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

Capturemation™ is an advanced screen capture command line utility for Windows that offers an easy yet powerful approach to the screen capture automation. With Capturemation™, you can save your time and make perfect screenshots either from the command line, batch file or another application you develop.


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.
