Screenshot utility help - FRAPS doesnt work under Windows 10
« on: April 10, 2018, 09:40:02 PM »
Was wondering what is suggested for screenshot utility to use with Windows 10.

My FRAPS that I bought years ago that works under Windows 7 doesnt work under Windows 10. I had been taking screen shots for Windows 10 by using print screen key and pasting to mspaint and then saving the file as a jpg at a folder that is selected and this is a very manual process.

Fraps makes it as easy as pressing a hot key which saves the screenshot to folder that you specify in the settings of the FRAPS service. Google shows a number of screen capture tools but figured I'd see what people suggest.

Hi  ;)
I made a little Autoit Script to take a screenshot with the snippingtool.exe for saving a full screen or capture a custom region and save it automaticly with .jpg extension
I will send you this project when i go home  ;D

Agree with patio - the built in snipping tool works great.

You cannot specify a specific path, but Windows Key + Print Screen will save a PNG screenshot directly to a "Screenshots" folder inside your pictures folder.

Done - and please know that was a tongue-in-cheek remark by me. You speak at least one more language than I do, and I have the greatest respect for that!!

This Software named ShareX is a good one  ;)

ShareX is an open source program that lets you take screenshots or screencasts of any selected area with a single key, save them in your clipboard, hard disk or instantly upload them to over 80 different file hosting services.
