Besides normal screenshots taken via PRINT, which puts a PNG of the current screen into /boot/home/, this application provides some useful options.

screenshot.png

Starting Screenshot will take a screenshot as usual, but offers from its main window controls to set filename, format and folder before saving the image.

The Options dialog has a few more settings:

screenshot-options.png

Besides the obvious, toggle between taking the whole screen or just the active window, including the window border and the mouse pointer, you can enter a delay before a screenshot is taken. Of course, this delay takes only effect if you take a new shot by pressing Take Screenshot.
