Snip & Sketch

I got this working using the "Print Screen" key.

But it wants to save cut-out images as PNG files
only.

How can I get it to save as PDF and JPG files too?

OK, done that; now what?

If you look in the a.c.o.w10 archives, I think this was asked before.
I think, as I recall, that you can certainly do what you want, but, most
likely not the "way" that you most likely want.

What we all would want is a simple switch, sort of like this:
Format_to_save_Windows+PrintScreen = jpeg
Format_to_save_Windows+PrintScreen = pdf"
Format_to_save_Windows+PrintScreen = bmp
etc.

What you can do is either remap the key, to bring up a snapshot tool (of
which there are billions), or, just use something like Irfanview instead.

I am writing this off the cuff - so I may have forgotten a lot of the
details which were covered in previous threads, which you can find in the
archives http://alt.comp.os.windows-10.narkive.com

You can drop the PNG image onto FastStone Image Viewer and
"save as" any of another 9 file types, including JPG and PDF.

The Snip N Sketch doesn't even have a Print option
that I could find. I tried a variety of control-P,
alt-P, Win-P and so on, to no good effect.

I can understand not "saving" in PDF mode, but
other options would be "Exporting" or "Printing".
PDFs need a default page size and orientation,
to provide a scale.

I suppose they don't want to put a "Ribbon" on top of the thing :-/

I must be getting old, because these designs baffle me.
What is this for ? What "niche" is it filling ? They
could have added screen snips to "Paint 3D" and had a
whale of a product (a three dimensional whale). The
design would then "make about as much sense".

My handwriting is terrible, and I don't think I want
to see my handwriting used for annotation purposes.
That would give me a migraine every time I looked at it.
Maybe this product is a subtle dig to turn on the
"inking subsystem" ? You can see here, they're prepared
to develop one program after another like this. It's like
"I got this Pen For Christmas".

The Irfanview image view will also allow you to select how you would
like to save the image

I like to use the free PrintKey 2000. When it's installed and running,
when you press The PrtScrn key, it copies the image to the clipboard
and brings up PrintKey 2000, when lets you save it in any format you
want.

The only thing I don't like about the admittedly extremely powerful
Irfanview snapshot tool, is that you have to have started Irfanview first,
and it takes up room in my already crowded taskbar.

IMHO, it would be nice if we can figure out how to have a small-footprint
Irfanview background process always invisibly running, such that the
default Control+F11 snapshot tool would _always_ be available.

This seems like a nice suggestion, but it would always be helpful to
have a link to the _canonical_ site (since lot's of duplicates abound).

Q: Where is the canonical location (and version?) for PrintKey 2000?
A: ?

Googling, I first found this from PC Magazine, which doesn't bode well:
https://www.pcworld.com/article/231643/printkey_2000.html
"Note: This file is no longer unsupported by the vendor and has been
removed from PC World's Downloads library"
"Sometimes you just need to do a simple thing--like making a
hard-copy printout of your screen. But if you hit the Print Screen
key in Windows, it won't actually print the screen to a printer.
Instead, it will copy the screen into the clipboard, from where
you have to paste it into a graphics-capable program and then print it.
Print Screen (as the name suggests) cuts out the middleman:
once the small, free program is installed and the No Dialog mode
is enabled, it will print out the computer screen to the default
printer whenever you hit the print screen key...."

Apparently, it "might" not work well on Windows 10...

"NOTE: Printkey 2000 does not work well on Windows 10. I get lots of
comments about this, but there is no fix because Printkey is simply
too old to work well on Windows 10. The good news is that there are
lots of free alternatives to Printkey. One of them is Greenshot.
Greenshot is a versatile screen capture utility similar to Printkey
that's available for free."

here are my initial notes after installing it moments ago...

http://getgreenshot.org/downloads/
Phones home after installation so implement your network kill switch.
Badly behaved installer does NOT ask where it should install into.
You can check to have greenshot run during windows startup.
Shows up in your taskbar (whatever the hardware section is called).

Apparently I installed Greenshot a month or two ago, almost certainly when
I was looking for an icon editor, so maybe that's why Greenshot didn't even
_ask_ where to go a few minutes ago?

Here are my updated notes, but I've only used Greenshot for a few seconds
(since I found that Irfanview is a perfectly good icon editor nowadays.)

If you already have Greenshot installed, it may not ask where to go.

A recommendation: put the task bar on the side of the screen, rather
than the bottom. You will then have much more room on it.
