When I create a screenshot with the "Print Screen" button, a ClipboardFusion notification window pops up, and I can right-click on it to save the image. Is there any way to automatically save all.PNG files and/or all image files that appear on my clipboard to my Downloads folder? Also, is there any way to automatically rename them or to have CF prompt me for the name I would like?

In the repository there's a macro called "Save Copied Image to Disk" that will do this. You can edit the folder path on line 11, and then run it from a Trigger rule that uses the "Clipboard Changed" Trigger Event.

Hope that helps!

It works, but now when I paste text, it gives me a message box "the clipboard does not contain a picture". Can you give me a version without any message boxes? I tried to fix it myself but was not able to to get one that verified properly.

If you comment out lines 22, 23, and 24, so they look like this:

Code

//else
//MessageBox.Show ("The clipboard does not contain a picture.",
//"ClipboardFusion", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);

That should do the trick :)

For some reason it's invalid. Please see the attached macro. I just want it with no notifications.

A new problem has popped up. Whenever I save cells in Excel, I'm finding that CF is saving a picture in .png format. Any idea why this is happening or how to stop it?

That'll be happening because Excel puts multiple formats on the clipboard, including images. I'll have a look at this macro some time this week to see if I can ignore the images for Excel.

Ok, give this one a try.

Hi, thanks for fixing this macro for me. Can you help me figure out how to set the trigger? For some reason, when this macro is enabled, I cannot copy and paste text! Do I need to have a trigger set up for this, or is there a way to run it all the time? I actually only care about it running when I use the Win 10 printscreen screen/window capture program.

I think I might see what the issue is there. Could you try this updated version of the script?

I will try, but I still need to know how to set the trigger or how to invoke the macro. What do I do?

There are a couple of options. You could create a Trigger rule like the attached screenshot, or you could open the macro edit window on the Settings > Macros tab and set a key combination on it. You'd press the key combination after copying the image to the clipboard.

I don't see the screenshot. But just FYI, I don't want to press a key combo - I want it to happen automatically every time I do a screen capture. Can you re-post the trigger?

I had to change the trigger setting from 'Trigger Command Received' to 'Clipboard Changed' but otherwise I think it's working. Thanks.
