ShotGenius 1.1
DOWNLOAD ( hits )
ShotGenius is a small screen capture utility that needs NO SETUP to work: you don't have to install it and it is really small and not intrusive, because it stays in Windows® tray area.
What's new in version 1.1?
You can store screenshots into a file or into the system clipboard.
Timed capture is automatically disabled when "save to clipboard" mode is active.
The tray icon becomes red when "save to clipboard" mode is active.
If ShotGenius runs under Windows 9x/ME and other Windows® versions that don't support ballons from the tray area like in XP, messages will appear as common message boxes.
An hotkey has been added to toggle between "save to file" and "save to clipboard" modes. Default is CTRL+F5 but it can be customized from the options panel.
ShotGenius allows to perform 4 different types of screen captures by using some keys combination:
Full screen capture (SHIFT + F1)
Screen area capture (SHIFT + F2)
Active window capture (SHIFT + F3)
Full screen timed capture (SHIFT + F4) - it produces animated .GIF files, not available when saving screenshots to clipboard.
In ShotGenius 1.1 you can choose
to store screenshots in a file or into the clipboard: you can switch from one
mode to the other by pressing CTRL+F5 (you can customize this hotkey). The captured images can be saved
as .PNG, .BMP or .JPG picture files (you can even set JPG compression level or
PNG image quality level). The user is enabled to select the folder where picture
files will be saved: if ShotGenius is not able to find the given folder, then it
will use the desktop folder.
On the contrary, if you decide to store screenshots in the clipboard, you can
paste them into any Windows® application that supports the clipboard features,
just like Word®, OpenOffice.org or any other graphic tool. When "capture to
clipboard" mode is active the ShotGenius icon in the tray area gets the red
colour in place of blue.
When ShotGenius captures a picture and saves it to a file, it can be programmed to perform a final action among those available; also, if ZipGenius is installed, the captured image can be compressed to ZIP or 7-zip format.
ShotGenius doesn't need setup and hotkeys can be customized from the options panel.
