 CD: 9/10.

I like this application very much -- more than FastStone's FSCapture. Redllar's FGWndGrab has more features like thumbnail, watermark, FTP and a few others that I have not tried (dual monitor, background fill). It is only 168 Kb UPX compressed (without GDI+).

I would very happily give this 10/10 if Redllar could modify it so that we could choose the capture type (desktop, window, rectangle, etc.) on-the-fly via hot-keys. [2006-10-13 06:46]

 Stephen Michael: Redlar's FGWndGrab is the *only* screen capture utility on the entire internet that is capable of doing screen captures of non-rectangular objects such as the different 'skins' of Windows Media Player 10/11 and causing all background pixels to be completely transparent. This is a trick that can only usually be done in Adobe PhotoShop. The graphic file formats with this transparent background can be GIF or PNG. [2007-04-27 17:54]

 a: can someone upload to a file hosting website so people can download instead of getting the 'daily download quoto exceeded' all the time. [2007-08-28 08:41]

 FGWndGrab Link: If you cannot download from the site, and are getting an error, download here:

Save the GIF image to your desktop, and then rename it to ZIP and open. The program is great, and also very tiny :). [2008-03-12 17:24]

 Mathilde: I think this application is just superb and I use it all the time. It's one of my favourite downloads ever. [2009-01-21 05:05]

"FGWNDGRAB OS VERSION ERROR: FGWndGrab is for MS Windows 98 or newer"

I'm on Windows 7. Naturally, this is where 'Compatibility Mode' comes into play, but still, I think this program could use an update (either in code, or if already done in code, than in portablefreeware's link)

Just checking it out briefly, I got a couple comments for ya.. First, wd for making something nice, simple, to-the-point-and-out-of-the-way. I like that. That said, easier access to different capture types (desktop, window, etc) either via hotkey and/or the context menu of tray icon. FSCapture has both, as I recall (not that you need copy it). The settings navigation seems weird to me. Maybe its because I'm on Windows 7, but I doubt thats it. I have to kinda 'click-along' to move up and down the list. Last comment: It seemed to want to use C:/Program Files/A43 as its default save location o.O;; I'm not sure why it'd default to the program folder of the file manager I was using at the time [2010-01-28 13:11]

For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
