Screenshot feature broken

[Alhanelem]

As I said before, I normally just use Snipping Tool, which comes with windows (thankfully after enough backlash they decided to update and keep it instead of replacing it with Snip & Sketch which added bloat and some functionality was lost) since snipping tool enables me to just capture part of the screen if I want to and it has a delay feature which can make it easier to capture action moments.

Is it possible to use it to do it unattented (aside from the one button press)? That is, does it always pop up (or hidden) a window, and you need to interact with it manually?

If not, that would not work for me either.

I'm not sure what you mean by unattended. all means o f taking screenshots require some input from the user. There is a hotkey to open the snipping tool (windows key + shift + S.), but you still need to press a button to activate snipping mode. But its functionality (being able to take just a region of the screen, a specific window, etc. makes it versatile enough to work for everyone. The delay feature means you can activate it and it will take the screenshot X seconds later, which means you can go back to the game and strike a pose or do whatever you need to do and it will go off automatically.

Yes, it's less convenient than pressing scl lck and prt scrn but it gives you the ability to do much more than the in-game function can do. You can set up just about anything with the delay feature. I think if you try it rather than dismiss it out of hand based on words I'm typing, you'll find it useful.

By unattended I mean anything after the initial button press:

On Linux I have a very simple self-made script to save an image of whatever the active window currently is to a pre-set directory, using the window title as its name and adding time and date to it without any other interaction from me aside from the initial button press.

This seems to be something that BobbinT would appreciate.

It basically annoys me to do snipping every time, since for currently I'm in cutscene & kinda just killed immersion with me needing to snipping forth & back. Plus this will not work if there's like action cutscene where I need to make several screenshot in succession, it's not like there's ability to freeze the screen while i properly snip & save it, then resume so that I could take another one on exact moment.

I don't have a machine with Windows installed on it handy, but I can imagine it pretty well from your description, thank you!

It seems to be very similar to the several open-source applications out there, of which some can be used in the "unattended" way as well, but I can't really recommend any at this time since I'd have to first research their support for Windows.
