Lightscreen is a simple tool to automate the tedious process of saving and cataloging screenshots, it operates as a hidden background process that is invoked with one (or multiple) hotkeys and then saves a screenshot file to disk according to the user's preferences.
Main Features
- Can execute at Windows startup (hidden or displaying the main window).
- System tray icon for easy access.
- Five configurable actions, each with it's own hotkey (screen, window, area, etc).
- Multiple image formats (PNG, JPEG, etc) and image quality selector.
- A notification when the screenshot is taken.
- Screenshot delay.

Other Features (mouse over for more details)
Lightscreen can be translated to any language you'd like, for that, you will have to use the Qt tools provided for this task, specifically the Qt Linguist tools, it's documentation accesable here. If you wish to improve on a currently available translation, you can do so by looking through lightscreen's code.
I've packaged all of these tools and information into an integrated package for Windows, available below:
