Review of MWSnap
MWSnap is a great freeware tool that is very adept at screen captures. The software, written by Miroslaw Wójtowicz, is available from Mirek’s Free Windows Software. Installation is quick and painless. After startup, MWSnap sits unobtrusively in your system tray until needed.
MWSnap can selectively capture a fixed size rectangle, rectangle of any size, window/menu, or the entire desktop. Once copied, screenshots can be saved in GIF, JPG, BMP, TIF, or PNG format. Options such as color depth, transparent pixel, and quality, are available depending on file type. This software has become indispensable for creating screenshots for the TrackPro help file and TrackPro website.
MWSnap includes handy on-screen vertical and horizontal pixel rulers. There is a color picker that will report screen colors as in HTML, RGB, Delphi, or Windows System constant. Do you need to zoom in on a particular section of the screen? MWSnap has a zoom tool with 10 levels of magnification. The window tool reports window size, location, name, class name, and handle.
MWSnap is multilingual, speaking 13 languages. I have found only one minor fault with the program. On multi-monitor systems MWSnap can become confused if the interface is on one monitor while the section of screen to be captured is on the other monitor. This is hardly significant because it is very easy to work around. I strongly recommend this software for anyone that has even occasional need to do screen captures.
