for Windows 9x/200x/XP
[b]Features[/b]
It’s a simple app with some simple features:
* Lowers CPU usage by switching off the webcam between snapshots
* Use any standard windows capture device
* Capture to a file as a BMP or JPEG image
* Specify a flexible filename
* Give the image a caption
* Specify the frequency of snapshots
* Can be used via the command line
* Captures can be triggered via hotkey
* Execute a file after each snapshot is taken (optional of course)
This last feature is great for those of you who love scripting & macros. You can pass through the name of the snapshot that’s just been taken (by specifying %1) and do whatever you like.. FTP the file, SMS it to your phone, run a batch conversion so that a bunch of JPEG images are compiled into an AVI… it’s up to you. File Mover also has this feature with an example .VBS script.
