Hi guys,

Is it possible to edit the functionality of the PrtScr and Alt-PrtScr keys...?

I want to be able to hit PrtScr or Alt-PrtScr and automatically save the clipboard image to a defined folder. If I create a button and select PrtScr or Alt-PrtScr as the hotkey, nothing appears.

Thanks

PrtScr seems to be one of the few keys Opus can't assign a hotkey to. There's probably a reason for that but I don't know it myself, off the top of my head.

Lots of screenshot tools can do what you want, FWIW. I use Window Clippings myself but there's also SnagIt and others.

Shame but no big deal, I will have to get used to using ScrollLock instead. Has anyone used this since the 90's :slight_smile:

Unfortunately I can't install any software at work which is where I needed this but thanks for the suggestions anyway.

Hi Guys,

Seven years on and I have been using the code below successfully since then:

Clipboard PASTE=BMP HERE AS="C:\Users\%username%\Clipboard\{date|yyyyMMdd} {time|HH-mm-ss}\"
Go "C:\Users\%username%\Clipboard\" NEWTAB=findexisting OPENINLEFT
Set SOURCE=left
Select DATE=newest 
Clipboard COPYNAMES=unc

I have created another button with the following code, which looks correct in my opinion, but doesn't want to work.

Clipboard PASTE={dlgchooseS|Select Image Type:|BMP=BMP+JPG=JPG+GIF=GIF+PNG=PNG) HERE AS="C:\Users\%username%\Clipboard\{date|yyyyMMdd} {time|HH-mm-ss}\"
Go "C:\Users\%username%\Clipboard\" NEWTAB=findexisting OPENINLEFT
Set SOURCE=left
Select DATE=newest
Clipboard COPYNAMES=unc

The code is identical to the first code above apart from the dlgchoose command. When I run it and select JPG from the dlgchoose, a file is created in the correct folder but has the name Clipboard Image.jpg or Clipboard Image(1).jpg etc.

Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong?

Regards

You have a ) where a } should be at the end of the {dlgchooseS|... part.

Thanks Leo, well spotted. It's always my own stupidity... :grin:
