[Tools] Cropper the C# Screen Capture Program

It doesn't really matter what language the tool is written in, but this program happens to be one of the smoothest screen capture utilities around, and it happens to be written in C#. I've been using it for months, and I have no plans to replace if for another cropper/clipper/capture tool.

It's available on CodePlex and there's also a Cropper Plugins project there with a bunch of more or less useful plugins :)

Just this morning I was looking for a good screen capture software to aid in reporting bugs. I found zscreen, another c# open source software, before I got to this post in my ".NET Developers Blog"-feed. But after testing cropper I found that zscreen had a less intrusive workflow which is good for lowering the treshold on getting testers to document bugs properly. Pretty much "hotkey" -> "draw rectangle" -> done. It can upload the screenshot taken to ftp and then copy an url to clipboard. I had to do some minor tinkering to save to a network-path and still copy an url to clipboard (misusing the ftp-settings) but the source was so neat it was no hassle.
