10.4: Automate the capture and printing of screenshots
Authored by: ton007 on Mar 20, '07 09:59:57AM

An even easier way would be:

In Automator, create a new workflow:

1. System Library > Take Screenshot. Select Type > Full Screen. (Or alternatively Type > Interactive > Choose Window). Select Save To > New. Browse to and select Mail.

2. Mail Library » New Mail Message. The screen capture will automatically be inserted into the new message with this action (very handy!). Just fill in the To, Subject, and Message fields as you desire -- by specifying the Subject, you can then use a Mail filter to group all the tech support screenshots into one Mail folder, for example.

3. Mail Library > Send Outgoing Messages

That's it.

Correction Step 1:
Was: Select Save To > New
Should be: Select Save To > Other

YMMV

You're right. New lets you save to a file, Other lets you save to an app. Thanks for the correction.
