Freeware Recomendations
A terrific free image capturing program. Using just a single click of the mouse you can :
1) capture a chart image
2) automatically name and number each image
3) automatically save it to a file of your choice

Version 4.7 is the older version - it is still available from uptodown's website.
So is the newer version 5.4.2 which has eliminated the feature that allows
a one-click snapshot of just a single window...But it has added
a shutter sound feature that can be activated when snaps are taken.
I currently run both versions simultaneously without conflicts. The programs
can be configured to save their snapshots to the same folder on your machine.
I set up 4.7 to snap, name and save a single open window (scroll wheel button)
and 5.4.2 to snap, name and save the entire monitor picture (keypad button).
