I needed an easy way to take screenshots quickly so hacked together a simple tool for the job. Pressing "Print Screen" on your keyboard will save the desktop (or selected window) as a png to a selected folder. It runs in the background so just hitting print screen will save the screenshots for you, making it easy to capture several screenshots without having to stop to paste it into a paint program or saving it from the snipping tool.



Set Save Location - Select location to save screenshots in
Open Location - Open the save location
Set Capture Mode - Choose what you want to screenshot (desktop or a window area)
Push to Capture - Takes a screenshot and saves it to folder

Hotkeys:
Print Screen - Takes a screenshot and saves it to folder

Issues:
  • It can't capture some window areas for some reason. Doesn't work with rpg maker 2003 for example. If that's the case it will revert to capturing the whole desktop instead.
  • It will capture the windows area on the desktop. So if anything covers the window or is in the way it will be captured in the shot as well.
  • Does not work if you have display scaling active.



It only works on Windows and requires .Net framework (which should come preinstalled on Windows). I've only testes it on Windows 10 so far.

Update
v0.9
  • Added the feature to capture parts of the screen
  • Added a custom icon
  • Redesigned the layout
