Screenshot Saver

Application to streamline saving test evidence screenshots.

It consists of two tabs:

• Clipboard
• Watch folder

Clipboard

Example routine:

• go to page A
  • change to Desktop view
    • take screenshot
  • change to Tablet view
    • take screenshot
  • change to Mobile view
    • take screenshot
• go to page B
  • repeat...

How this tool helps?

• in Save to folder field enter the folder where all screenshots will be stored
• go to page A
  • type page name in File name field
  • change to Desktop view
    • take the screenshot and put it to clipboard (there are many screenshot tools that automatically put taken screenshot to the clipboard)
    • click the Desktop button - the screenshot will be saved to the Save to folder folder with the name name - size.png.
  • change to Tablet view
    • take the screenshot and put it to clipboard
    • click the Tablet button
  • do the same for Mobile
• go to page B
  • type new page name in File name field
  • take screenshots and use the buttons to save them

Watch folder

This mode works similarly to the previous one. Instead of taking screenshots from the clipboard, they are taken from the file system by watching a folder.

How this tool helps?

• enter the folder that should be monitored for new screenshots in Watch folder
  • press the Watch button
• in Save to folder field enter the folder where all screenshots will be stored
• go to page A
  • type page name in File name field
  • change to Desktop view
    • take the screenshot (the screenshot tool you use should save the PNG screenshot to the folder you set in Watch folder)
    • click the Desktop button - the screenshot file will be moved to the Save to folder folder with the name name - size.png.
  • change to Tablet view
    • take the screenshot
    • click the Tablet button
  • do the same for Mobile
• go to page B
  • type new page name in File name field
  • take screenshots and use the buttons to save them

Developer's highlights

• monitoring a folder for changes (new files, modified files, deleted files)
• avoiding locking an image file by application

Code: https://github.com/lukaszmn/Screenshot-Saver/blob/master/Screenshot%20Saver/WatchPanel.cs

private void watch() {
	try {
		if (watcher != null) {
			watcher.Changed -= new FileSystemEventHandler(watcher_Changed);
			watcher.Dispose();
		}

		watcher = new FileSystemWatcher();
		watcher.Path = uWatchFolder.Text;
		watcher.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.LastAccess | NotifyFilters.LastWrite
								| NotifyFilters.FileName | NotifyFilters.DirectoryName;
		watcher.Filter = "*.png";
		watcher.Changed += new FileSystemEventHandler(watcher_Changed);
		watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
	} catch (Exception ex) {
		MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
	}
}


private void watcher_Changed(object source, FileSystemEventArgs e) {
	if (e.ChangeType == WatcherChangeTypes.Deleted) return;

	string path = e.FullPath;
	try {
		Image image = null;
		// avoid locking the file
		using (var bmpTemp = new Bitmap(path)) {
			image = new Bitmap(bmpTemp);
		}

		uPicture.Invoke(new Action(() => setInfo(image, "New image: " + path)));
		discoveredPath = path;
	} catch (Exception) {
		uPicture.Invoke(new Action(() => setInfo(null, "")));
		discoveredPath = null;
	}
}
