It is made in Node.js ([MIT License](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nodejs/node/master/LICENSE)).\n\nIt is a better option than third-party screenshotting applications for devices with limited access, such as those on administrated networks.\n\n\u003e Please note that screenshots are now saved automatically to the Pictures folder on newer installations of Windows, so this program is only necessary for computers with an older operating system.\n\n## Installation and Use\n### Installation\nYou can use the Node.js version with the latest version of [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) installed by cloning this repository and running `npm install` then `node snipcatcher` in the directory of the clone.\n\n### Use\nUpon running the program, it will show information about the location of the program, and then it will locate the cache folder of Snip and Sketch. Once the directory is located, the highest resolution version of each screenshot is copied to a folder on the desktop.\n\nThe program then places a watch on the temporary folder; as soon as a new screenshot is detected, it copies it to the folder on the desktop.\n\nThis means that in order for the program to copy files, the program must be running.\n\n#### Changing the save location\n\nTo change the save location, press `Ctrl + X` after the cache folder has been located. This will prompt you for a new directory, and whether the folder on the desktop containing screenshots should be moved.\n\nIf you are changing the save location to a folder like `Documents` or `Pictures`, you may simply put either `Documents` or `Pictures` as the new location.\n\nNote that changing the save location to anywhere will create a hidden file in the Documents folder.\n\n## Uninstalling\n\nAs this program is standalone, it does not install any programs on your system. To remove all of this program's files from your system, delete the following:\n* snipcatcher.exe (from where the program is run)\n* .snipcatcher-redir.txt from the Documents folder (if the save location has been changed)\n* SnipCatcher folder (from the save location, Desktop if default)\n* snipcatcher.txt (from the save location, Desktop if default)\n\n## Dependencies\nThis program uses the following dependencies:\n* [chalk](https://github.com/chalk/chalk) - [MIT License](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chalk/chalk/main/license)\n* [hidefile](https://github.com/stevenvachon/hidefile) - [MIT License](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stevenvachon/hidefile/master/license)\n* [image-size](https://github.com/image-size/image-size) - [MIT License](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/image-size/image-size/main/LICENSE)\n* [prompt](https://github.com/flatiron/prompt) - [MIT License](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flatiron/prompt/master/LICENSE)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsd0e%2Fsnipcatcher","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsd0e%2Fsnipcatcher","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsd0e%2Fsnipcatcher/lists"}
