IanD Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 (edited) Well I figured since [in my opinion] this is a great program (that's free!) I should right a review for it! :) [EDIT] Neoshooter is a program (freeware) that takes screenshot's of your desktop, whole or sections with a neat little interface. It can capture different resolutions, and file types. [EDIT] On first impressions, its damn neat. Usually, with independant programs they dont have installers (for example the previous versions of Neoshooter). The installer is a plus to the program, so you dont just lose an .EXE or just put the directory somewhere. On to the program, you see a tray icon with the "N" logo from neowin. The resource usage is a little high though :/. You can also do a thumbnail just by selecting an option in the tray, just click the option and when you go to take the screenshot it makes a thumbnail too (Great for those desktops! :)) Also, you can automatically resize your images so you can follow the rules! :) Pro's: Great for screenshots, and great for the desktop thread! Con's: Resource Usage is a little high Ian's Rating: ********** Quick plug - Neoshooter is to be found here https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=161346 Comments: Sorry for the [short] review, I'm still learning how to [properly] do this. :) Edited May 22, 2004 by IanD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syphern Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 LOL yeah, give a little background on the proggy, it basically takes a screenshot of your desktop and resizes it automatically to 1024 rez, and saves it to your desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destian Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 LOL yeah, give a little background on the proggy, it basically takes a screenshot of your desktop and resizes it automatically to 1024 rez, and saves it to your desktop. Can you choose another resolution or is it automatic? Also, can you choose the file type? If not, what does it use? bmp, png, jpg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanD Posted May 22, 2004 Author Share Posted May 22, 2004 Can you choose another resolution or is it automatic? Also, can you choose the file type?

helmers Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 I used it in the past and had it resize my desktop... the only problem was that there was no blending so it looked very jaggy and compressed badly with JPEG. Has this been changed in the recent versions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted May 22, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 22, 2004 How is a program that uses 6MB of RAM, and you open and then quit shortly considered a "resource hog"? If it used 90% of your CPU, 1GB of disk space, and took up 100MB of RAM when running, then that would be a resource hog. This is just a simple tool that gets loaded and unloaded, so who cares about RAM usage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just a simple tool that gets loaded and unloaded, so who cares about RAM usage? When I used it, it stuck around in the system tray. And while I have no problems affording 6MB of physical memory to such an application, I think it seems wasteful when it is just sitting there. When it is working I don't mind it using a bit more. As an alternative, there could be two applcations, where one *just* served as a tray icon. It should be easy to program a tray icon that's just a tray icon.
