Windows Snipping Tool default screen selection

2

With Windows Snipping Tool i'm able to select an area in my screen and save the image. Is it possible to set a default selection-size?

I'm trying to auto-screenshot a specific area of my screen and save the image.

Have you tried the windows macro recorders? May be they will be able to do the job. Post your efforts to avoid "down" votes – Prasanna – 2014-08-26T07:12:03.403

@Prasanna I used "freelabs Macro Recorder" and it has several major issues. Mouse over flash video is slow & it doesn't work with keyboard macros (opening start menu). I'm not liking this. Now I'm suggesting the AHK-route but I don't know the scripts. – user176540 – 2014-08-26T11:15:46.327

After trying out Jitbit Macro Recorder the problems we're solved (flash/keyboard), but I don't seem to like this very much. I would prefer a scripting language route such as AHK but I don't know the scripts for my task. – user176540 – 2014-08-26T11:28:16.473

I don't believe it is possible with the native snipping tool (add this to the list of things I wish it could do, like print directly.) You may want to look into third party options like PicPick.

I want to avoid specific-alternatives as i'm trying to find universal routes to EVERYTHING. AHK seems to makes sense for my taste, but I don't know any snipping tool scripts. – user176540 – 2014-08-26T11:29:17.660
