TimeSnapper Options
The TimeSnapper Options dialog is where you can fine tune the nitty gritty details of everything. See below for the details of each tab.
Image quality
Screens to capture
You can pick which screen to capture or capture them all. Another nice option, e.g. if you are short on space, is to capture just the active application
Quality
File type
TimeSnapper supports saving the images in multiple different image formats:
- .png (usually best if you don't want any loss in quality and for maximum OCR efficiency)
- .jpg (usually best if you want to keep your images small, but does loose some quality)
- .gif
- .bmp
- .tiff
Resolution
Controls how big (heigh and width) the screenshot will be which in turn affects the size of the underlying file.
Quality
This can only be changed when the file type is .jpg. This controls the level of compression and the image quality. This gives excellent control over the image size.
Preview
The preview and the size indication is just to give an idea about how the screenshot will look like and how much space it will take. Actual size will vary depending on the complexity of the underlying screenshot.
