Capture Running in the Background

Post by Bev »

We would like to be able to have Capture running in the background all the time (similar to SnagIt) so that you can then use a short-cut key to capture your image and have it open in Capture. Is this possible? If so how would we do it?

Hi Bev,

Welcome to the forums! :D

Once open, Capture should remain in memory ready for use.

You can set it to minimise to the system tray by clicking File -> Options (bottom right of 'backstage' view) -> General and selecting the Minimise to System Tray option.

When minimised the keyboard shortcuts (for example ctrl + shift + w to capture a window) can be used.

HTH

Thank You

Update: On Flare 11 - you can get to the option by selecting: Tools > Options > General > Minimize to System Tray
