grabbing multiple screenshots?

FatRakoon · 30 Apr 2023 at 08:12

I am doing a load of training, and I am trying to grab the screenshots, the snag is, that I am grabbing it to the Clipboard and so I am only really able to do one at a time.
Is there an app that I can setup PRE-TRAINING and then Everytime I want to grabn a screen, I can simply press a key combo ( preferably Print Screen LOL ) and it saves it to a folder and then I go into that folder and I have a load of pics already there named TRAINING-001.JPG TRAINING-002.JOG and so on?
The training is online and its at a set speed - I am freely able to grab any and all screens, but its a chore to do that, and they do not provide us with a PDF of the courses, so its a bit of a swine if I am honest.

That's pretty poor if they don't provide any course material - remember to include that if they request for feedback.

I'm sure there's a few options out there, but I do remember having some sort of clipboard manager - it basically was an add-on to the copy buffer and stored anything you copied that way.

Edit: here's some built in options on win 11 https://uk.pcmag.com/migrated-3765-windows-10/136730/how-to-take-screenshots-in-windows-11

Ask them to provide material. You shouldn't require to screenshot everything.

Print Screen key with OneDrive is useful, can be done one after another and the filenames have time staps on them for easy ordering afterwards.

OneDrive?
Oh, ok, I will have a look. I have disabled it on my PC cos I dont want the thing, but if taht will do what I want it to, then...

Thanks bud.

Doesn't pressing prtscrn +windows key
Automatically save them to my pictures/screenshots
Though it wouldn't name them training 1,2,3 etc
But still allows capturing multiple shots that are saved in one place
Immediately
I use ashampoo snap for my screenshots
They're pretty good for giving free version of their software
Once a new version is released

Surely they supposed to give you the material if you are training, never heard of a place not giving you material, something doesn't add up here.

Does seem weird no pdf/downloadable material
Personally I would probably screen record it as video file
As well as grab screenshots too

Press Windows+V, enable the advanced clipboard. Now you can save twenty items to the clipboard. Use windows V to paste and you’ll get a list.

In the past I've used the built-in app Step Recorder for taking multiple screenshots. Just remember to increase the max number of captures from the default 25. All captures are saved in a single file.

ShareX is free and is really useful for this kind of thing.

When you say training is online, is it browser based? Firefox has a built in screenshot button you can enable by adding button to toolbar.

Irfanview has a capture mode that let's you specify an interval and all sorts of other options, like which window and so on.

There are a whole load of programs which can do desktop capture - IIRC even MSI Afterburner you can set it up to do it, definitely does it for video not sure on screenshot.

Windows Key + Printscreen is the native way to do it in Windows, it will screenshot and export/save to Pictures > Screenshots as PNG images.
