It makes me want to take more screenshots!
If you've been keeping up with my website for a while, then you'll know that I'm always looking at different software for taking screenshots. I constantly take screenshots for my blog... but it is all made easier with a neat little program that I recently found out about called Screenshot Captor.. Screenshot Captor is from the website Donation Coder, and if you haven't heard of that site, it has a lot of great freeware.. Personally, I turned the popup off, and just allowed it to continue taking screenshots and saving them.  The great thing about that is that I can easily take multiple screenshots and edit them at the same time later.. Honestly, there are so many different options that I won't be able to cover in this post. You'll just have to try it out for yourself. This is by far my favorite Screenshot taking application that I have used so far. It makes me want to take more screenshots!

FARRCloneWithDatestamp -- FARR helper tool to make datestamped copy of a file

FARRCloneWithDatestamp is a FARR helper tool to make a datestamped copy of a currently selected file in Explorer. The copy is placed in the same folder.

Have you ever done ctrl+C ctrl+V on a file and then edited its name, perhaps added a datestamp in order to keep track of which copy is more recent than the others? Then this might just be a tool for you.  :)

Setup:
1 paste the code into a text editor and save as FARRCloneWithDatestamp.ahk and then compile it (you need http://ahkscript.org/ for that).
2 store the compiled FARRCloneWithDatestamp.exe in some folder
3 create a FARR alias like this

alias name:
clone
regex pattern:
^(clo|clon|clone)$
result box:
Clone selected with datestamp | C:\some\folder\FARRCloneWithDatestamp.exe %LASTHWND%

To use it open Explorer and select a file you want to create a clone of. Press your FARR hotkey, type "clo" and when the alias shows press enter.
Next to your "file.txt" you should now see "file -- 20151213092801.txt" .
