Manual Image Capture - feature announcement (v. 2.1)

Quoted from Google Groups for TimeSnapper by jedatu:

First of all, thank you! I think TimeSnapper is fantastic.

To save on disk space I run it on the slow side (1 snapshot every 5
minutes). Sometimes I would like insert a screenshot manually, rather
than "wait" for the automatic snapshot. If I could hit a key
combination and inject a screenshot into the current cadence, that
would be excellent.

This was implemented in v. 2.0 of TimeSnapper Professional and it works like this:

You hit [Windows]-S to bring up the shortcut form and press M. That will insert a snapshot onto the timeline when you want to force it in cases like you suggest.

BTW, we have a lot of features to save on disk space like:

Idle detection (stop taking screenshots when idle, configurable)
[Pro] Filters (don't take snapshots of certain programs or dialogs with a specific caption - wildcards supported)
Only take screenshot of active dialog, the whole screen or all screens (I normally just snap the active dialog, saves space and the day browser is even snappier)
Identical image detection
Resolution and different image formats
Automatic Archiving based on either (or both)
- maximum space allowed
- image age

[Pro] The shortcut form is one of my favorite features and probably not well known. It allows almost total control over TimeSnapper through the keyboard. To activate it, use [Windows]-S (this will be made configurable in later versions)

Best regards,
Atli
