Get last ShareX screenshot path

[Lanteust]

Hello,
I'm trying to do a small skin that shows the last ShareX capture.

The ShareX Folder works that way:

Code: Select all

%UserProfile%\Documents\ShareX\Screenshots\{Folder per month}\{Capture}.png 

At first I was trying to use a little .bat script that I launch by doing right click on the skin, but well, it's a bit boring to use.

Code: Select all

@echo off

::SET ShareXFolder="$env:UserProfile\Documents\ShareX\Screenshots"
SET ShareXFolder=%UserProfile%\Documents\ShareX\Screenshots
SET mypath=%~dp0
FOR /F " tokens=*" %%i IN ('dir %ShareXFolder% /b /ad-h /od') DO (SET folder=%%i)  
FOR /F " tokens=*" %%i IN ('dir %ShareXFolder%\%folder% /b /od') DO (SET file=%%i)  
copy %ShareXFolder%\%folder%\%file%  "%mypath:~0,-1%"\ShareX.png

Then i tried to do the same with the plugin FileView with an update, but it's not working...

Code: Select all

I'm trying to get the last created folder, then the last created capture... but when i look at the measures i get nothing.

I think i'm missing something.

If anyone got any idea

Hi Lanteust

I think...Recursive=2?

[Lanteust]

Well, with Recursive=2 it's a little bit better (way better)

Start by removing everything that was false... like the default from copy/paste from the doc... or useless to me... so nearly everything.

Why does [MeasureShareXFolderChild] still is at the root of my FileView, it's not supposed to be a path to 2020-06 ?

Now it's time to try to have the picture loaded in the skin

Hi Lanteust

I am not sure about your aim... but MeasureName=MeasureShareXFolderChildPath, instead of MeasureName=[MeasureShareXFolderChildPath], in the [MeterShareXImage] meter??

[Lanteust]

It's working with MeasureName=MeasureShareXFolderChildPath .

It's still a bit of a mystery why sometimes we need to add the brackets and sometimes we don't.

I love to do a screenshot, do something else, and when I need it's not in my clipboard anymore.

I want a skin that shows me my last capture, without me needing to reload the skin every time...
With my left click going to the folder 2020-06 and the right click adding it to my clipboard.

But first thing first, I just wanted to show the capture, that is now working...
Now I want to open the right subfolder with my left click.
Next I want to update every i don't know, 5 min or so to not overload with useless scans.
And then add the picture to the clipboard.
