ScreenGrabber

Introduction

ScreenGrabber allows you to take multiple pictures of the screen display even whilst running a single-tasking application.

Latest Changes

Added commands in the !Run file to ensure that the SaveAs module is loaded. This prevents the error 'SWI &82BC0 not known'.

Details

One day I finally got bored of searching for a program that would perform that most basic of tasks - taking a picture of the screen. So, I wrote my own. The screen display is saved as a Sprite file, optionally with the current palette. The snapshots are numbered, so you can take as many as you like without overwriting the previous picture.

A front-end program allows easy configuration of settings such as whether the hotkey is enabled, the current save location and base filename, and whether or not to include the palette.

If you have more hard disc space than sense, then making animations is fun. Continuous recording can be synchronised automatically with screenbuffer swaps, or with a fixed delay period between frames.
