Click

Brief Description:

Click was developed to help you make screenshots. Although standard shortcuts prevent you from making screenshots while watching a DVD movie, this is not a problem for Click. You can take a screenshot manually by pressing Option-Command keys and also select automatic operation where a screenshot is taken periodically (1 - 60 minutes). You can also select whether the screenshot should be of the top window or the whole screen.

If you are using the DVD Player and "Top Window" is selected, hide the DVD Player Controller (DVD Player menu Window > Hide Controller) which is always the top window so that it cannot be covered. Otherwise, you will be taking a screenshot of the Controller.

When you launch Click you see the Control Panel where you select options. In addition, you can select from the Sound menu whether or not you want to hear a shutter click when screenshots are taken. The Control Panel's location and application settings are saved between sessions.

Above you see that Click is set to take automatic screenshots of the Top Window (TW) every two minutes.

When you first launch Click, a folder titled "ClickScreenshots" is created in the Users/~/Documents Folder. Here is an example of two screenshot files. The first is a screenshot of a Top Window (see the TW at the end of the file name). The name of the file is the date and time of the screenshot. The second is a screenshot of the Whole Screen (see the WS at the end of the file name).

Minimize the Control Panel (click on the top left yellow button) to start the operation. Screenshots cannot be taken while the Click Control Panel is visible.
