NAME

ScreenshotTray - Full screen capture of a monitor

 

SYNOPSIS

WA2LWinTools/bin/ScreenshotTray [ -h | -i | -u | -V ]

 

AVAILABILITY

WA2L/WinTools

 

DESCRIPTION

create a full screen shot of a certain monitor referenced by the monitor number selected in the system tray menu or using the Ctrl+F1, Ctrl+F2, Ctrl+F3 or Ctrl+F4 hot key to capture monitor 1 to 4.

The created screen shot file is automatically saved to the var/db/screenshot/ directory.

The idea is to use ScreenshotTray using the related hotkey or the tray menu to quickly create and save screen shots (for example during screen presentations) with most minimal user intervention.

If 'Repeat Screenshot every 5 seconds' in the tray menu is selected, the chosen monitor is captured every 5 seconds. However, an image is only saved if it differs to the previous screen shot taken.

If 'Imprint Timestamp on Screenshot' in the tray menu is set, a timestamp in the format YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss (e.g. 2021-02-18 20:55:00) is imprinted on the saved screen shot image.
