Screen Capture with a "global" HotKey

[SteveG]

Hello,

the capture function is very good. But additional it would be good
if there is a possibility to assign in Windows a "global" Hotkey to XnViews
ScreenCaputre function.
Perhpas it is already implemented. But I didn't find somthing like that.
Probably anyone has a solution. Pleas tell me. Thank you.

You means a hotkey even if xnview is not started?

Hello xnview,

exact. The possibility to have a screen caputre hotkey, even if xnview is not started.
Especially with the "show mouse" and active window option.
Additional it would be good to have a small interface/app (not the full big program)
with an icon in the tray and to sel the screen capture options and actions from/within
this icon by a popupp menu.

And it would be good to have an option to start xnview after a screen capture
in the capture directory even if a standard dir like D:\ is set.
Also it would be good to disable this behavior (upcoming xnview after a capture) for
continous captureing by a hotkey.

To be able to do that, i must add a little application in the system tray. Or you can use a hotkey program

Why you want to make something what already exist?

You can use the HotkeyP, but it's possible even without it. More here.

Hello Dreamer,

looks interesting.
But the coder should add something like _active_window_ and a param for the f10 key
for example a clicked command line like:

C:\progs\xnview.exe -capture=active,d:\screenshot$.ext,f10,mouse,exit

would load xnview as a minimized window and wait for the pressed f10 button
include the mouse in the capture and afterwards exit...

or a commandline like (without the f):

C:\progs\xnview.exe -capture=active,d:\screenshot$.ext,10,exit

would load xnview as a minimized window and wait the given time (10 seconds)
not including the mouse in the capture and afterwards exit...

Just some ideas
