I have MWSnap, screen capture utility and have loved it but now I also love and have been using FastStone Capture

It does many things and you can edit in many ways and save in many format too.

Plus if you do not want to install it there is the portable version you just unzip and run.

I always thought the Print Screen key and Paint function in Windows did a adequate job for capturing a screen shot. What am I missing by not having a program like ScreenHunter?

With screenhunter on standby, one push of a key gives you a jpeg in my docs.
With your method you push print screen, open paint, click file, paste, then to save it click file, save as, browse to, blah blah blah . . . . I'm tired already

[hewee]

So you have to do a one push and can not do a one press, or on tap of the keys?

Push and press, hewee, what is push?

I use a hotkey F2 for no particular reason and for each of the options - Rectangular area, Active Window and Full Screen. The hotkey triggers the screen capture according to my settings which include the formats (gif, jpg or bmp).

3 gifs attached showing the various settings.

Hello Joe,

That is indeed an impressive informational site and I thought I would offer this link which demonstrates its usefulness and confirms the old adage "links do not always a chain make".

Cheers,

Ben.

I always wondered why WinZip, a Shareware program would always remain functional after the 21 day evaluation period ended without purchasing it. Well the latest version, WinZip 11 offers a 45 day evaluation period which is exactly that. After the 45 day period ends you must purchase the program if you wish to continue using it. I chose to remove it and install WinZip 10 which will remain functional after the evaluation period ends.

Most of the good printscreen programs (I prefer Gadwin) can allow you to save as many screenshots as you want into a folder of your choice. One right after the other. The prntscrn feature that comes with Windows deletes the previous shot.

look for the download link in the header or foote r.

Sorry about my lateness in reply: Internet troubles and it turns out my email client was junking my TSG replys! Its sorted now though.

Yes although it does say demo version i can not find any restrictions in its useage. The only advantages of having a comercial licence are :

A commercial license to Autostitch provides access to the patent, source code, technical support and updates

Here's some of the blurb from the web site. A slick program and it's free to home users. I've been using various versions for several years:

ScreenPrint32 allows you to print and/or capture to disk or clipboard, the full desktop, active window, predefined area, or user selected area of the screen. Add user defined headers and footers with date and time stamps etc, resize the printed image, convert to greyscale or negative image, fade or resize the image to reduce toner/ink usage, print by default to any available printer. It can be set up to be completely transparent to the end user.
Capture a screen area and paste directly into your documents. Easily configured with user specific or global settings which are persistent after reboot.
Images may be saved to a user selected folder in either GIF, BMP, JPG or PNG formats with user configurable file naming.

ScreenPrint32 is free to register for home/personal use with no functionality removed.

I concur, I've been using ScreenPrint32 for a couple of years and it does everything I need a screen capture program to do. I've tried a few others, but I keep coming back to ScreenPrint32.

I usually set it to save jpg files with the filename being incremented by one everytime.
