Hotshots is a screenshot tool with some editing features. It is particularly suitable for writing documentation (as used in the following chapters) but you can use it to highlight some details on a map image or what ever you want. Because HotShots is written with Qt, it runs on Windows and Linux (MacOSX isn’t tested yet). <\/p>\n

Current features:<\/p>\n

  • Grab current screen, all monitors (in case of multi-monitors configuration), current window or a part of the desktop.<\/li>\n
  • Save the screenshot in multiple formats (PNG, JPG, BMP, …).<\/li>\n
  • Automatically save the screenshot to clipboard, disk or launch the editor tool.<\/li>\n
  • Automatically scale the screenshot to a given size.<\/li>\n
  • Use \u201csystem\u201d shortcuts to take a screenshot.<\/li>\n
  • Add automatically some \u201cpost-effects\u201d to the screenshot (drop shadow, rotation, border, \u2026).<\/li>\n
  • Can be minimized to system tray and work in background.<\/li>\n
  • Can be launch at system start-up (Windows).<\/li>\n
  • Export edited image in multiple formats (PNG, JPG, BMP …).<\/li>\n
  • Save\/Restore edited image in proprietary format.<\/li>\n
