    Working support tickets can be great to learn about how your customers use the products you create. Recently come into a ton of people that are using Easy Capture Manager (when you press print screen in Windows). The problem is that when they use it, they only capture portions of the screen that they consider useful. Often times this is little more than an error dialog. I want the shot of the whole browser. The URL often has help information in it. Other parts of the screen that users don't care about help me troubleshoot. These screen shots are about as good as no screen shots.

      Do these images also come embedded in Word documents?

        No, but they might as well!

          Sounds about as useful as a customer taking a picture of their laptop screen with their mobile phone. From a dodgy angle. In poor lighting conditions. :doh:

              It could be worse. I get screen 'captures' that are taken with their phone from three feet away. Did I mention they're out of focus and blurred as well? And they're complaining about the position of a button on the screen?

                Almost as bad as someone taking a screenshot of *part* of a log file.

                  I get that too. We have a diagnostic report (an HTML document) that can be generated via three clicks from anywhere in the application. The document is around 8-10MB of useful information, which translates to about 1,000 printed pages. I have received a screen capture of the first page.

                    Is this Easy Capture manager part of your product> When I press Ctrl+PrtScn I get a brief flash and an image of both my screens on the clipboard.

                        The Snipping Tool has nothing to do with how PrtScn works.
