When I'm idle it's a problem

Hello,
I'm a trader, and I have some data that comes in continuosly that I view while I am working. I would like timesnapper to take screenshots so that I can at the end of my day see what this particular data was showing me at any specific time. Very useful to me at end of day analysis. But I want to run it off my laptop or another pc, than the one i'm working on primarily, because the window for the data needs to be open pretty largely, and I need all my desktop space for other stuff and yes, I have an expanded desktop. So I'm running it off my laptop but the problem is the idle. It stops taking snapshots! There should be an option to override that, and have it disregard that I am idle, and even better than that, just in case, from a disk space point of view, specify, take snapshots from 8am till 1pm whether I'm idle or not. It's almost perfect!!!
Please make that happen, and make it happen tomorrow. Thanks.
Franco

Where in the settings.ini file should you put these settings, and where should that file be? My install didn't come with a settings.ini file so I'm not sure about the file location, or the section and format of the keys can you advise on this? Thanks.

Hi,
the settings.ini file is located in the same folder as TimeSnapper executable. It is created automatically the first time TimeSnapper Classic is closed. Make sure you edit this file when TimeSnapper is not running. You should see how it works right away. (it doesn't matter where in the file it's put since it's just key=value pairs and no sections)
It is possible to change this setting in TimeSnapper Professional from the GUI (View -> Options -> Options -> ...)
Cheers

Thanks for the quick response. I just realized that even though I've been evaluating TimeSnapper for days, I had never actually exited the application. So that's why I never saw the file. Now I see what to do.
Thanks again.
