You did click the enable button? Sorry, had to ask.

Given I know that it needs more error handling I'm surprised that it doesn't throw an error if it can't complete it. I'll have a look at a version to capture more info as it goes.

I followed the instructions; I am using a Steam version of the game, could that be an issue?


Just making sure and I haven't used this myself, but are you taking screenshots with steam? (Default F12)
If so i doubt it works, I expect it to be made for using the ingame screenshot function on F10, or Alt + F10 for a highres screenshot.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

Done. New version, same link.


Damn! Between people like you and Artie, we are getting spoiled ;)

Can you confirm the path that screenshots get saved to? Are they bmp's?

Got it to work after some fiddling about - ran it as an administrator; that made it overwrite the original print screen. Then changed the log file folder (wasn't the right one) and now it works like a charm!

Thanks for everyone's tips!

Glad it's working.

It's odd though, it's not doing anything that should need admin rights. I'll add some more error handling tonight so that others can get some more pointers in case of issues.

True, it's not something I hear every day. It's always nice to be appreciated though :D
