Make Screenshots Of The Command Line
It's not a problem to make a screenshot of the Windows command line if it is opened in Windows but what if you have to open the command line before Windows start? There is no obvious way to create a screenshot of the command line when Windows is not running. Some users might need to make screenshots in DOS, the most common reason must be for documentation purposes like posting them on a website or in a book.
CmdCapture is a small command line tool that can make screenshots of the current command line. Since it is a command line tool it is driven by parameters which are explained when entering CmdCapture.exe /h.
The easiest way to create a screenshot of the command line is to run the application without parameters. It will save a screenshot in the same directory in png format with the date and time attached to the filename.
Three additional parameters are supported by the software. The parameter /f can be used to pick a custom filename and file extension. Supported are png, jpg, bmp, tif and xpm.
The /d parameter can be used to specify another directory for the created screenshots. Finally the /q parameter changes the jpg quality level which makes only sense if jpg is used as the file format.
