[more features down below]

Download: - [exe] / [jar] from [ScreenshotZ-v1.3 Release Page]

or from [MediaFire Folder]

-> or clone git and compile using maven

❌ To launch from .exe you MUST run it as administrator or you will get the following error message: ❌

✅ To do so [on Windows10]: go to the file settings - Compatibility tab - Run this program as administrator ✅

🌕 Running .jar as Administrator perform better but isn't mandatory

To do it you need to open CMD as administrator and go to the location of the jar and run it with java -jar

CMD input example:

    G: ---> dir HDD/Downloads/Opera ---> java -jar ScreenshotZ-v1.3.jar

✨ ScreenshotZ App Features: ✨

🔸 App launch directly to system tray

🔸 Option to change default screenshot directory

🔸 Option to add a Custom Keybind (Save a combination of 1-3 keys) [Does not replace PrtScn button]

🔸 When PrintScreen is pressed - it will always save to screenshot directory

🔸 v1.1 added Option to launch Crop UI on Custom Keybind and/or PrtScn

Cropped picture will be automatically be in your clipboard for easy sharing

🔸 v1.2 added more Crop Options (Save Original , Exit UI onCrop)

🔸 App save settings to MyUser/.ScreenshotZ/config.XML

🔸 Default screenshot directory is MyUser/.ScreenshotZ/Screenshots (Default 2nd keybind is null)

🔸 To show some debugging: run openWithDebug.bat from same directory as jar OR start program from CMD

🔸 To add/delete Startup rule run the corresponding bat as Administrator from the same directory as ScreenshotZ-v1.3.exe

🔸 ProTip: you can press right click to cancel crop (Unnecessary if Exit UI onCrop option is disabled)

You can use some Command Line Arguments to take screenshots/+crop them without running the whole program:

• %arg [-capture] to directly capture screenshot to saved/default directory

• add %arg [-crop] on top of it to also launch crop UI

  for example in cmd:

     java -jar ScreenshotZ-v1.3.jar -capture -crop
  

  (App will just take screenshot without launching main thread)

  following this procedure you can bind the core functionality of the program to pretty much anything

  for example: add to explorer.exe context menu the option to instantly crop [TODO will upload reg files for that]
