ScreenGrabber    View Screenshot

 

 

Mirror 1

 

 

"a simple program for creating screenshots from the PC's desktop and its content. The whole idea of the program was to make it as simple as possible, yet useful enough. I have been using lots of different programs to create screenshots, I've even used the PrintScreen button and then pasted the image into Paint or other graphics programs to save it. But I thought that was kinda tedious. So I came up with the GeoTrail ScreenGrabber. The program isn't 100% finished as of yet so major changes will probably be done to the coding and layout before it's final release some time soon. A few extra features will also be added, amongst those planned are audio when a file is captured and saved. Ability to save captured image with different user specified filenames, including different file formats." --Snapfiles.com
