Vista snipping tool

[BillytheImpaler]

Can someone please tell me what this tool is?

It's a new tool for doing print screen-type operations. It has all sorts of fancy functions and it seems to nicely outpace OS X's Grab utility.


I wish its free-form snips were transparent pngs. Can they be?

It's not there, wonder why I don't have it. I did turn some Windows features off but just had a look and can't find any references to SnippingTool.

now that is a handy tool, cheers

 

[Rebelius]

that's fantastic

so much easier than using prtscrn & paint and then trying to crop it in horrible horrible paint.

 

[Gimpymoo]

Is a nice tool indeed

Very practical.

Mine didn't appear by default, but I tracked it down to:

C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-tabletpc-snippingtool_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_none_cd7c35de0fd57264

This made me think it hadn't been installed. If you go to control panel and enable tablet PC features, it should install. More likely is that I disabled all tablet functions.

Looks a neat little program.

I'd much prefer a sniping tool.

That's raised an interesting topic in my mind - "misinterpretations of Vista's speech recognition".
