(Archived) Capturing full JPG/PNG screenshots directly to Evernote

[tomnagle1 0]

Hi there,

I recently migrated from Windows to Mac, and Evernote seems to work so much nicer on Mac. I'm still learning though. I'm trying to figure out an easy, one-step way to take full-page JPG/PNG screenshots and get them into Evernote.

I've used Chrome primarily as my browser, and I was bummed at the loss of formatting (often, but not always) when using the EN clipper or copying and pasting. Up until today, I was taking screenshots primarily with a third party tool (like Google's Screen Capture extension or Snagit), saving to a folder, and then dragging those into EN. On Windows EN, I could "watch" a folder then and have it auto import those images or PDFs. Mac doesn't have that feature (right?).

I really haven't used Safari, and I was pleased to find that a simple SHIFT + clipper makes a full PDF screenshot in EN (wish I would have known that earlier).

I use JPG and PNG screenshots more often than I use PDF screenshots, but can I do that in one step in Safarai. On Chrome, there is a great extension called Screen Capture (google) that takes great full JPG/PNG screenshots, but it's a two step process to get them into EN (for me). It gives me the option of choosing where I want to save the image file, but can I save it to a folder that EN would automatically look for and import?

Can anyone point me in the right direction on this? Thanks!

Tom

If you look under the elephant icon in the menu bar, you'll see an option (with a hotkey) to clip part of the screen directly into Evernote.
