Recommend screenshot software

[Deleted]

Hey, can anyone recommend a software for making screenshots that he has experience with? All I want from it is:

1) Allow me to have a keybind for taking screenshots
2) Save the screenshot automatically to any folder (i.e. WITHOUT me confirming it every god damn time)
3) I also don't want to select any part of the screen each time, nothing. Just save a plain screenshot of the entire screen.
4) ???
5) Profit

I tried google but most programs I found had something annoying built in them (something that goes against 2 or 3). I need to make screenshots of some stuff on the interwebz, like 2500 of them... So it doesn't need to work in game or anything.

Thanks.

press print screen, paste to paint?
Works well for me.

WoW has a built in screenshot bind as well, it saves to the screenshot folder automatically.
I am not sure what you are asking for ;p

In game screenies , or regular monitor screenshot?

Print Screen + MSPAINT + CTRLV + CTRLS + Pick location + Save... Versus Simply one keybind

MSPaint works well. However not 2500 times... Regular screenshots.

I can't remember since I have the full version, but I think that FRAPs does have screen shot functionality like you want in the free version.

Download Irfanview.
http://www.irfanview.com/
It's capable of many many things - to much to name but the feature your after is multi snapshotting.
Once you have the program open go to Options at the top, then "Capture Screenshot" ... or the shortcut is "C".
In there you have options of what to snapshot, mine is set to 1 - full desktop. Set a hotkey on the right something that wont collide with general browsing (i use Alt + Insert).

The bottom part is the most important though if you want to review each picture one by one after taking them set it to "show captured image in main window".
If not and you want to take a hundred pics and look at them later "Save captured image as file : ....."
And create a destination folder just for these pictures, as well as the quality settings etc at the bottom.

Irfanview is also great for cutting, cropping, resizing, merging etc etc.
Hope it helps.

Ehhh, i probably misunderstood your question but print screen does the exact same thing you want, it saves a screenshot in the wow folder of the entire screen without having to click anything except the button.

In WoW sure, in some games, sure, in everything? No.

Yeah, some games inexplicably leave out automatic screen shot saves. I'll never understand why. To me, it seems like one of the most basic necessities that you just include.

http://code.google.com/p/zscreen/ is likely one of the more powerful and useful options.
