how to fix screen shot area for multiple capture?

I want to take a screenshot (on hotkey press) of a pre-defined fixed area on my screen. So when I press the screenshot hotkey the fixed area would automatically be selected and take and save my screen shot to a folder. The only problem is once I have selected the rectangle tool to define the area, I have to redefine the area every time I want to take a screenshot. Is there no way to just fix the area so that this area of the screen will always be captured on press of hotkey without having to redefine the area eveytime?

That surprises me that they have not added a function like this. Do you know if they plan to do it?

... I think/hope soon into the MP version...
But, with for example imagemagick (linux or maybe windows version too) you can use a script:
# You could use -crop WxH+X+Y option for import command To specify the area of the screen ("$$ eog f.jpg" is to display the result into linux, so you can replace "eog" by "xnview.exe")
Code: Select all
import -window root -crop 200x100+50+70 f.jpg && eog f.jpg
or
Code: Select all
# import -window root -crop 200x300+100+15 -quality 100 $(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S).png
