Automatic Screenshotter
v1.16.1 - Dec 30, 2019
Automatic Screenshotter is a high-performance tool for taking screenshots at regular intervals.
| • | It is made to run in the background, taking screenshots of either the currently active foreground window, or the entire desktop. |
| • | You can configure how often the screenshots are taken, and how they are named. The naming can include putting them into subdirectories and can be based on the data,time, and application name. |
| • | It will automatically prune older screenshots based on limits you set regarding screenshot age, # screenshots to keep, and total file space you want to use. |
| • | It will also try to be smart about avoiding saving multiple screenshots when the window (desktop) contents don't actually change, with some configurable tolerances, to minimize disk space used. |
| • | It can also be told about certain applications to never capture, or alternatively a small list of applications that it should only ever capture. |
| • | It can be configured to ignore capture when your pc has been idle for a certain amount of time, or when screensaver is running, or when full-screen games are running. |
| • | You can also manually trigger a capture with a hotkey. |
| • | You can also toggle capturing on-and-off easily from system tray menu. |
| • | Screenshots are saved as standard png files. |
In summary, the focus is on an automated system of recording recent activity on the screen, and trying to be well behaved regarding disk space usage. You should be able to set it and forget it, until you need to go back and see what was on the screen at a certain time in the near past.
