What is Batch Screenshooter?

Do you use a Webcam to show everything going on outside your computer on your web site? You can use Batch Screenshooter in the same way to show everything going on inside your computer!

Why do you need Batch Screenshooter?

Here are some of the things you can do with Batch Screenshooter:

• You can select different configuration files (-configure or SCREENSHOTER variable).
  The default is screenshooter.cfg in the same directory as the executable.
• You can select the output file name (the default is screenshot.jpg)
• You can add the date to the output file name
  e.g. screenshot20040524125107.jpg where 20040524125107 means May 24 2004 12:51 and 07 seconds
• You can select the jpeg quality factor (the default is 70%)
• You can select whether to capture the whole screen or to capture the foreground window or to capture the client area of the foreground window
• You can select where to archive the screenshots e.g. v:\screenshots\
• You can set the number of loops and the time to wait for every loop (in seconds)
• You can set the ftp site, user, password and directory

Configure and run Batch Screenshooter

screenshooter [-options]
where options include:
-help to print the line help
-verbose to print verbose messages
-configure file to use a specific configuration file (the default is screenshooter.cfg in the same directory as screenshooter.exe) -iview file to use a specific location of i_view32.exe
e.g. -iview c:\irfanview\i_view32.exe
(the default i_view32.exe: we have Irfan Skiljan's authorization to include the Irfan View executable in our distribution)

1. Batch Screenshooter uses the file screenshot.cfg as its configuration file. This file must reside in the same directory as the screenshooter.exe file, since it searches for this file at runtime. You can create your own screenshooter.cfg file.
   Inside this file, you can change the values for the output, date, quality, archivedir, dimension, loop, sleep, timebeforebeep, ftphost, ftpuser, ftppasword, ftpdirectory
2. To change any of these values, you just need to edit screenshooter.cfg. You can also create a new .cfg file and tell screenshooter.exe to read it at runtime, using the -configure yourfile.cfg option or the SCREENSHOT variable.

The output variable allows you to set the output name of the jpeg file (you do not have to specify the extension). The default is screenshot
By setting date to 1 (default is 0) you can add the date to the output file name
e.g. screenshot20040524125107.jpg where 20040524125107 means May 24 2004 12:51 and 07 seconds
With the quality variable you can set the jpeg's quality percentage (the default is 70%)
The archivedir variable allows you to set the archive directory where every screenshot will be stored.
With the dimension variable you can set different screenshot dimensions: 0 (the default) to capture the whole screen, 1 to capture the foreground window, 2 to capture the client area of the foreground window.
With loop and sleep variables you can set the number of loops and the time to wait for every loop (in seconds).
If you set loop, with timebeforebeep Batch Screenshooter will advice you with a beep the number of seconds before.
The ftphost, ftpuser, ftppasword, ftpdirectory variables allow you to set the ftp host, the user, the password and the directory where the screenshots will be stored.

Special Thanks

Our special thanks to Irfan Skiljan for allowing us to use his wonderful IrfanView tool inside our utility!
http://www.irfanview.com/ is the IrfanView site.

Thanks to Robert Donnell. He has corrected English errors in this documentation and suggested us to change the old not exact Batch Screenshoter name into Batch Screenshooter.
