Looking for programmer to help me create a simple screen capture tool for Windows

By Bernard Maldonado - Jun. 09, 2009

Hello. I am looking for a person who can program a Windows-based Screen capture tool that can perform the following tasks?

1. be able to run based on a user-defined hot key combination
2. be able to auto scroll and capture the entire vertical window (normally a browser) that has focus. The scroll should be automatic and the resulting image may be short or tall.
3. be able to save the file to a user-defined location on the local hard drive with a user-defined filename (such as 11.bmp)
4. be able to save the file with user-defined format type (BMP 256, JPEG, TIFF)

That is it.

Another topic that I would like to incorporate is the ability to localize the software based on a list of phrases and words. So it could be re-complied and released in a different lanaguage release.

I can offer payment for such a project, and would like the programmer to propose a price.

I live in Dallas, Texas, but am willing to work with someone anywhere.

My skype ID is bernardmaldonado if you care to get in touch.

    Bernard - you might want to consider posting on oDesk - http://www.odesk.com


    You can get contractors for hire there for short-term projects.


    If you are on Windows, you have probably seen Snagit?

    On the Mac, check out Paparazzi, which works well for web-pages.

    Snagit rocks for the PC! It isn't open source though and you'll have to shell out $30 or $40 but well worth it if you're going to use it extensively. Haven't seen anything else match up to it or even come close...
