Using greenshot with AHK

Hi, I wanted to make a script that repeatedly takes a screenshot of my screen using AHK. However, the hotkey I set up for greenshot doesn't seem to work. Here is my code:
I set up the program to take a screenshot when I press the ScrollLock key, but for some reason, AHK doesn't trigger it when I press the '=' key. Am I doing something wrong?

Unfortunately, that didn't seem to work. I wonder, could it be because greenshot isn't the window that's in focus?

I don't know anything about greenshot, personally i would try do it with pure ahk
but you can try to go back to the style you had above but without the {}'s around the send command, with a return after it (on my phone now or i'd show in code), then add in a "winactivate before the send if thats what greenshot requires

you can use nircmd.exe
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html
for example:
Code: Select all
; Save 10 screenshots in a loop, and wait 60 seconds between the screenshot save calls. The filenames of the screenshot will contain the time and date of the saved screenshot.
run, nircmd.exe loop 10 60000 savescreenshot c:\temp\scr~$currdate.MM_dd_yyyy$-~$currtime.HH_mm_ss$.png
