Extreme Clipper
Version 3
Extreme Clipper helps you to take screenshots of windows in a flash. It's an ideal tool for one who is in always need of Screenshots and selective clippings. Made in AutoHotkey, it can capture screen clippings according to your needs!!
Just press (tap) the PrimaryKey (Default - PrintScreen) and then drag mouse while holding the SecondaryKey (Default - Left mouse button) to select the area you want to clip.
Release the SecondaryKey to proceed.
Then, by default you will be met by the Resizer window. Click on Done there to capture.
To capture the whole screen, tap the PrimaryKey and wait for approx. 1 second. You will be greeted by the Resizer window if enabled.
Click Done and you are Done.
It by default also opens automatically the screenshot directory after each screen capture.
The resizer which helps you to resize captured clips on the go, can be very useful if you need to limit the size of Screenshots.
Overall, it is a basic clipper to satisfy all your needs.Hope you like it!!
Changes in this version
- Included Clipper.dll which greatly eliminates bugs and makes the software dependable.
- Added Help file in the Extreme Clipper package for user's ease.
Download .exe
Download the Script

You should link your script to the raw version of the script instead of the GitHub page. Just add "raw." (no quotes) after the http://. That way, it's a simple Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C to copy the whole thing instead of muddling with the mouse and selecting it.

I'm dying here man! I've been looking over and over and over the code to this... and I can't get it to work. The exe will print out an image to the capture folder then through the warning box up that says "Looks like Clipper.dll isn't present in Etreme Clipper's directory or the program hasn't got enough administrative rights...." BUT, then it puts the image in the capture folder??? I tried to use the posted script and it throws the message without saving the image... so I couldn't modify the script either. I'm not sure what to do??? I did download the Gflax.dll and then what? I tried to just put it in the folder with the exe... I've tried to rename it clipper.dll... I've tried to put it in the systems folder... I don't know what's going on, kind of a noob at this autohotkey stuff. (I'm trying to get this program working for my mother-in-law who games and needs to make quick screenshots that saves to a folder- I'm hoping I can get this to work for her). Anyways, I'll check back on these comments to see what you have to say. Thanks for any help. -Sam-

You may be using AHk_Basic. Get Ahk_L from http://www.autohotkey.com

What is your OS version, build (x64/x32) ?
I am using Ahk_L, Unicode 64-bit version
DeleteOS version is Windows 7, x64

Use Ahk_L ANSI.
DeleteNote that it has only a 32-bit. Use that.
Tks Man!!!! Great software!! I thought about programming one like this on AHK and you saved me a looot of time!! Tks tks tks!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome
ReplyDeleteI've had the hardest time finding a working script that does this, with all of the libraries still available. I finally came across this and it's perfect! Well, sort of. I'm a 64 bit user, so I switched over to 32-bit ANSI, tried running as administrator, uninstalled and reinstalled AutoHotkey and no matter what I did, I still got the "Looks like Clipper.dll isn't present" message on both the script and the exe. Oddly, it still was taking the screenshots and saving them properly.
ReplyDeleteSo my question is, what is in the Clipper.dll? Because honestly, I spent way too much time looking for a script to do this and I needed to get back to work. So I just commented out the catch{} and MsgBox. Seems to work fine, but I would obviously like to know if there's any danger in doing this.
While I was at it, I made a couple tweaks to the script that you might want to consider adding:
* I added the ability to change the default Captures location with a shortcut and store it in the ini file.
*I also added the ability to change the default picture name and store that in the ini file.
Also, here's a few other things I did that don't need to be added, but they made Extreme Clipper work better with my workflow:
I personally don't like to keep scripts I use rarely running all the time, so I changed the functionality a bit. I launch the script with printscreen from another script, and then use ^LButton. After it finishes, it exits with an ExitApp. This functions very similarly to a Mac's screen capture function. It would be great if the whole screen capture could be a separate shortcut. I get a lot of false positives because I don't click fast enough, so I just disabled the timeout altogether. When I have more time, I think I'll rewrite some of it so that the click+drag doesn't require a Primary key and also turn the cursor into a crosshair while the script is running (again like a Mac). I'll probably change the whole screen capture to ^PrintScreen, also.
This is what I love about AutoHotkey, I can customize and tweak something like this to make it perfectly fit my workflow. And because of that, I want to thank you for all the hard work you put into making this. You're a lifesaver!
