PocketScreen 1.3 (10-11-2007)

[Rhapsody]

I was looking for a tool to make screenshots of my phone. But I couldn't find the 'perfect' app for it. So I wrote a tool myself.

It's called PocketScreen. It's been written in VB.NET so you need the .NET Compact Framework for it.

Attached is a screenshot of the application.
You can set a timer from 1 to 60 seconds (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 30, 45 or 60 seconds)
Further you can decide to exit or focus the application after capture.

The supported filetypes are *.bmp, *.jpg, *.gif or *.png.

When you press the capture button it will automatically minimize the application.

I've tested this on a Wizard only but it should work on any PocketPC with .NETCF 2.0 installed.

Updates

Version 1.3 (10-11-2007)
Some users who tested the application reported an error when opening the directory browser. I cannot reproduce the error but I tried to 'fix' the error.

- Option focus and exit application after capture changed. Now either focus or exit must be selected to prevent the program to stay minimized in memory.
- Directory browser updated. Root is not shown.
- When an error occures while displaying the directory browser a window will be displayed with the error message. (please report)
- Subdirectories will not appear twice (or more) anymore after expanding/collapsing multiple times.

Version 1.2 (07-11-2007, 20:30)
- Settings will be saved on exit. (and will be loaded on startup, of course)
- It's possible to set the number of captures.


Version 1.1 (06-11-2007, 16:00)
- The default save as dialog has been replaced by a new directory browser. Now it's possible to choose a subdirectory to store the captured screenshot.

Nice one Rhapsody - works nicely and the ability to save to multiple file formats is great.

Appears very nice...this could be the new "screen capture" app everyone includes in their roms instead of Pocket screen Capture which will only save to the temp dir and will only save in .bmp

Thanks for the comments! Hopefully we'll see some more threads with screenshots over here :P

In addition it should be great if the application could take a screenshot on a button pressure...

I've been looking to add this functionality, but due time I didn't include this. Maybe I'll include it once. It's a nice feature to keep in mind though!
