Greenshot - a free screenshot tool optimized for productivity
|
|
=============================================================
|
|
|
|
Welcome to the source repository for Greenshot
|
|
|
|
What is Greenshot?
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Greenshot is a light-weight screenshot software tool for Windows with the following key features:
|
|
|
|
* Quickly create screenshots of a selected region, window or fullscreen; you can even capture complete (scrolling) web pages from Internet Explorer.
|
|
* Easily annotate, highlight or obfuscate parts of the screenshot.
|
|
* Export the screenshot in various ways: save to file, send to printer, copy to clipboard, attach to e-mail, send Office programs or upload to photo sites like Flickr or Picasa, and others.
|
|
and a lot more options simplyfying creation of and work with screenshots every day.
|
|
|
|
Being easy to understand and configurable, Greenshot is an efficient tool for project managers, software developers, technical writers, testers and anyone else creating screenshots.
|

About this repository
|
|
---------------------
|
|
This repository has all the sources of Greenshot, but we have multiple branches of which two should be important to know about:
|
|
|
|
**1.1**
|
|
Greenshot 1.1.x can be found in the 1.1 branch, this branch represents the current release.
|
|
|
|
**1.2**
|
|
Greenshot 1.2.x can be found in the 1.2 branch, this branch will be coming soon.
|
|
But it mostly has a few more bug fixes and changes as are in our Greenshot release, as we collect multiple fixes before releasing.
|
|
1.2 is a "dying" branch, as we want to change a lot of the underlying application for 2.0 and most of Greenshot will need to be rewritten.
|
|
This means pull request with fixes or **small** changes are very welcome!
|
|
|
|
We now have a continuous integration system, you can find the latest unstable 1.2 builds [here](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Greenshot/greenshot/history)

Current build status 1.2 branch:

Developing for Greenshot
|
|
------------------------
|
|
We develop Greenshot with Visual Studio Express 2013 and tested our solution on Visual Studio Professional 2012.
|
|
It should be possible to compile Greenshot directly after a checkout, eventually Visual Studio needs to upgrade the solution.
|
|
What doesn't work are the plug-in for cloud storage (like Box, Dropbox, Imgur, Picasa and Photobucket) as these need "API keys".
|
|
These keys are not in our Greenshot repository, if you want to develop on one of the plug-ins you will need to create you own keys by registering with theses services as a developer.
|
|
I will add a description here later to explain how include your API keys so you can develop.
