Screenshot aliases using MiniCap

mouser's excellent Screenshot Captor does pretty much everything you need for screenshot capturing (and more) but isn't exactly a tiny lightweight app. But it's baby brother MiniCap is a command line based screenshot capture app. This makes it ideal for the quick screenshot capturing tasks, and also ideal for FARR aliases!

You'll find (currently an old build of) MiniCap here: https://www.donation...r/MiniCap/index.html (mouser will probably update this ASAP)

I've put together a package that includes some aliases as well as a fresh build of MiniCap itself. These aliases should cover a range of screenshot options but adding or editing should be easy enough.

to install this you would put the minicap directory in your FindAndRunRobot\AliasGroups\Installed directory.  That alias subdirectory is marked as Read-only from within FARR so that it can be easily updated.

-mouser

To use, type 'mcap' which will present you with the following commands

Command	Description
Screen capture	Captures current screen
Last active window capture	Captures the last active window (i.e. active before launching FARR )
Select region capture	Interactive capture of region (traditional style mode -- locked to current screen of multimonitor)
Object capture	Interactive capture of object (red box mode)
Red box region capture	Interactive capture of region (red box mode)
Capture to clipboard	Copy the interactively selected image to clipboard
Border shadow capture	Add a nice border and shadow to interactively selected image
DC Review capture	Autosaves to "%MYDOCUMENTS%\reviews\$appname$\$windowtitle$_$uniquenum$.png" I found this was quite helpful when working on a minireview
Multimon capture	Capture entire desktop workspace (all multimonitors if more than one exists)
Delayed screen capture (4 secs)	Wait 4 seconds before engaging capture of current screen
Crash msg capture	I'm using a couple of beta apps and if they crash I can save the crash message to "%MYDOCUMENTS%\crashinfo\crash_$windowtitle$_$datetime$.png"
Help with MiniCap	Launches the MiniCap helpfile

Thanks goes to mouser for both a lot of help and suggestions while making the aliases and for updating MiniCap and adding several new features. Looking at several other aliases was also very helpful, so if you've released a pack of aliases I've probably looked at it in awe
