I used to use Andy Snap[^] but it hasn't been updated in five and a half years. I've been loomking at Screen Hunter[^] but I have 3 versions to choose from. I'm not averse to paying for a utility if it does what need. In this case I want to be able to change the size and position of a selected area before it is saved to a file. In the case of the Windows Snipping Tool it saves to a file as soon as you stop dragging out the are of screen you have selected. The other good thing Andy Snap did was preselect the exact same area as last time when it was invoked, so if you were snapping through a dialog based process the correct area was already seleced. Anyone have a utility that they use and would recommend to me?

I just use my mouse for that: http://a4tech.com/sproducts.asp?cid=225[^] The driver includes a very handy screen capture tool. I can make screen selections, highlights, draw shapes, add text and save to file or copy to clipboard, all without ever opening any imaging software. The tool is just an overlay on top of the screen, invoked by a dedicated mouse button. Truly a time saver. Recommended if you're willing to get a new mouse just for this. The mouse itself is also great and very good value for money too.

heheh you beat me to it, albeit a little less sarcastically than I would have been inclined: "Ya so um there's this button on your computer's keyboard titled 'Print Screen' - please consult your keyboard manufacturer's end-user documentation for general guidelines on how to use this button as well as tips, tricks and gotchas." :-D

Decent capture software, click a button to invoke, select area, resize if needed, hit enter to save to predfined folder, format and naming convention.

I have a free screen capture program for Windows that seems to fit your need well. It remembers the area set by the user and sets it to the same location and size when it is launched again. It has a mode to automatically capture the current active window and save the images to a folder specified by the user. It allows the user to adjust the size and location of the area to be captured with the mouse, or by typing in the coordinates. It has the option of capturing the mouse cursor image and include it in the final image. The images can be captured to the clipboard, files, or (for a quick print out) directly to a printer. A document is included with the program showing the basic functions of this program, and explaining how to use it. If you are interested in trying this program out, please contact me through email.
