Overview of CapturePlus Screen Capture Features

It offers a variety of capture methods, from easily capturing an entire scrollable screen that does not fit on one page by using Window Scroll, to letting users manually select an area to capture.


Each capture is added to a new tab, and options such as automatically saving each capture to the clipboard or automatically saving it as a file to a desired location can be changed in Preferences.


Each capture feature also has a default hotkey assigned, and these hotkeys can also be changed in Preferences to suit your needs.


Each function provides powerful capture options for different situations, so if you try them out yourself, you should be able to get familiar with them without much difficulty.

How to Change the File Name of Saved Recordings, Audio Recordings, or Captures

Click Tools - Options in the top menu of oCam.

Then click the Save tab on the left to set the file name for saved files.


 


By default, files are saved in the following format.

<Prefix>_<YYYY_MM_DD_HH_NN_SS_Z>

The text inside the <> brackets uses special keywords. These keywords can represent the prefix, date, serial number, program name, user ID, and user name.


With the default settings, when recording starts and then finishes, the file is saved in the format Recording_2015_05_07_14_22_41_791. If you only want to change the word Recording at the beginning, you can change it as follows.


Test_<YYYY_MM_DD_HH_NN_SS_Z>

If you do this, the file will be saved in the format Test_2015_05_07_14_22_41_791 after recording is completed.


If you want to add a serial number after Test instead of the date,

set it to Test_<#>, and it will be saved as Test_1... Test_2 ... Test_3...................... Test_10.
