Well, as it's name sais, TOSC is a screen capture program (yep, yet another screen capture program), and it's open (ie. free and opensource).

I wrote it because I know only two screen capture programs: one isn't free and the other is hard to use. So I started to make one which is both free and easy to use. It's not finished, it has some minor/major problems, but since it's already usable, I thought I make it public. More info (and dowload link):

And as usuall, any comment/critics/idea is welcome

Changelog:
* v0.3 - finally you can start the countdown by clicking on the green rectangle even if the main app is not in foreground.

Excellent effort Thanks a million for your contribution to UIQ 3 community I've got a little request, can future versions be added with the capability to capture in jpg format?

This is my TODO list:

* fix the floating window (ie. it should work even when the main window is hidden)
* add possibility to choose destination directory (ie. where to store files)
* add possibility to choose between different file formats

So, if I'll have enough time, I will add JPG support as well. Right now I choosed PNG, because:
* BMP is too big (one screenshot would take ~230KB)
* PNG is pretty simple (the png encoding part, using zlib, is only 100-150 lines, could be even shorter I think)
But I found some classes in the Symbian SDK which might come handly (a generic image encoder/decoder), so by using these theoretically it would be possible to save in any format these classes support (and I suppose JPG is one of them)

Anyway, I don't have too much spare time, so don't expect it soon, ... but who knows (right now I'm adding some new animations to TABU first)

Thanks. Looked under ALL my folders in C: and D:, but not under the root drive

But is it a way to take screen shots faster? I shall take many screen shots, and it take a while between every time you can do it. Is my phone slow or the application?
