did we have this?

Some 3 months ago we had this post... or something very similar how to take timed screen shots. I think it was a shell script. So, what's the big news? that you can do "do shell script" in the AppleScript??? Um, I thought everyone knew that already...

Yes, kind of

It's very similar to this hint, which is a Perl script to do screen captures (and yes, I know there's an AppleScript linked in the comments). There are, however, some people who would prefer not to use the Terminal and/or Perl, and who might want something that can be launched and quit from the GUI - and this AppleScript fits the bill. I felt that this script merited its own hint for those that would rather not use the Terminal and yet were unable to create their own AppleScript wrapper. Hence, we have two similar yet different solutions to one problem. -rob.
