I’ve been using Cropper for a while to take simple cropped screenshots, but when I want to take a screenshot of my whole screen, I keep having to go back to my old screenshot script which uses ImageMagick and commandline ftp, because I need to upload the screenshot. Recently I realized I want to upload the images to Menalto gallery on the geoShell site and I wanted to share that ability with other people, but my script requires ImageMagick and Perl to be installed and properly configured, which seems a bit to ask of your average Windows user
I started out to write a plugin for Cropper but ended up deciding there were just too many things I didn’t like:
- The plugins are rather more complicated to write than they need to be, partly because they have to handle ALL the output…
- The thumbnail window is locked at the center of the screenshot window
- There’s not really any way to take a shot of the full screen
- There’s no command-line ability (you have to bring up the cropper window to take a screenshot)
The end result is that I’ve written myself a screenshot application. Now, I wrote it mostly for myself, at first, so I wrote it in C#, using Beta 2 of Visual Studio. Eventually I decided to “fix” the shortcomings I saw in other implemenations, but I don’t really want to back-port it to .NET 1.1, so in order to use it, you need to have beta 2 of the .NET Framework Version 2.0 installed.
