ScreenShot FKEY
Version 1.0
July 20, 1989
The ScreenShot FKEY is an FKEY that will allow you to take full-screen
snapshots of any screen of any size or color depth.
On multi-screen systems, ScreenShot should capture all screens in its
snapshot, but I haven't actually tested this...
The screen images are saved at the root level of your boot disk,
and are named "Screen n", where "n" is some integer. There is no
limit to the number of screen shots you can take. The screens are
saved as PICT files; the creator is set so that MacDraw II will open
the screen shot file if you double-click it; the FKEY is easily
patched such that your own drawing program can be launched instead;
just search for "MDPL" and replace it with the four-byte signature
code of the drawing program of your choice.
The FKEY will not take snapshots of pulled-down menus; perhaps in a
future version, depending on the response that this one generates.
If you're running under MultiFinder, there may not be enough available
memory to take the snapshot; the FKEY requires about 40K of RAM for the
image on a 640 by 480 screen. The solution is to not use MultiFinder
when taking snapshots, or to increase the application's partition size
by the appropriate amount (to get an estimate of the memory required,
multiply the screen's width by the screen's height, and divide by 8).
If there is insufficient memory to take a snapshot, the FKEY will beep.
To install the ScreenShot FKEY, just double-click on the "ScreenShot
Installer" icon. A dialog box will appear, with a radio button for
each FKEY slot in your system. If a slot is occupied by an FKEY, the
corresponding radio button will be dimmed. In that case, use ResEdit
to remove the FKEY from your system (note the usual precautions with
respect to using ResEdit). After selecting the FKEY slot, click
"Install", and the FKEY will be installed and the Installer will exit.
At this point, pressing the command-shift-number combination you
chose will cause a snapshot to be taken.
Clicking the "Try It" button in the Installer's dialog will take a
screen snapshot.
The ScreenShot FKEY is shareware; the requested contribution is $10.
If response (accompanied by the fee) is sufficient, I will invest time
in improving the FKEY, in particular adding the ability to take snapshots
while buttons or menus are held down.
