GreenShot Free OpenSource Screenshot Utility for Windows
-
I liked GreenShot but uninstalled it as it was a bit.... fiddly & quirky. Maybe will give it another go.
It seems like an awesome idea but maybe just too much shell integration for me? or something? I dunno.

Greenshot has been updated to address both the authenticated imgur issue and the lag on hitting the button.
Version 1.2.8 Build 12
http://getgreenshot.org/2015/11/18/latest-bugfix-release-resolves-problems-imgur-upload-performance/Hooray! That lag was aggrivating. Now I should be able to get a good comparison between it and the OneNote screen shot tool
Sadly this lag is back.

New thing about GreenShot I bumped into this morning.
If you hover over a window while GreenShot is active, then press the spacebar, GreenShot will highlight the entire window. Then click to get the normal menu.

There are a number of preset hotkeys also such as alt+print screen, etc.

I have not experienced this again. I can check my version in a bit.
-
My version is 1.2.8 build 12 (64 bit)
Installed and updated with Chocolately.
-
according to
They have released 1.2.8 build 14 released Nov 3, 2016.1.2.8.14-b7c8384 RELEASE
Changes for this release:
This has Imgur improvements for the newer API version, this is a backport from Greenshot 1.2.9
With the move to a new hosting platform, we also noticed our update checks are way to often, this needed to be reduced.The chocolately system hasn't been updated yet.
and they updated Imgur support again.
-
I was going to say Chocolately wasn't updated.
Oh wait, already did - whoops! my bad.
I guess this is one of my older installs where I manually install GreenShot.
Fixing that now.

I would love to give credit to whoever first told me about it, but it was a coupe of years ago and I do not recall who it was. I swear by this app though. It makes things so easy.
I have to agree. I forget who showed me this but it's ridiculously handy, and the fact it gives you the X and Y axis lines on the screen for convenience is amazing! Always one of my first installs on any computer.

And that was just because that is when Chocolatey ran I do not have that in a scheduled task on my workstation. need to set that up...

Just installed, what a brilliant utility......

@dafyre showed me ShareX like that tool quite a bit didn't have the lag and unreliability issues I was having with Greenshot when I switched over.

that's funny, Paul Thurrott just posted about ShareX a few days ago.
-
I've used them both enough that I feel at home with Either. I'm primarily using ShareX these days.
-
It's a neat app but I didn't like all the menu things it inserted everywhere. I went back to snipping tool.
I do not make screen caps very often
