XiPrtScr

A screenshot capturer with grid history viewer, can use XInput controller to issue commands.

How use

1. Clone the project
2. pipenv install
3. Get the xbox controller
4. Configure the constants at around the top of main.pyw file
5. Run main.pyw with pipenv (pipenv run python main.pyw)
6. Enable 'LT/RT take' in menu 'Option'
7. Run your game
8. You can take a screenshot by holding Left Trigger and Right Trigger on the xbox controller to the very back (255/255 value, or max gas, first player controller only)

What can do

• Issue screenshot capture with your xinput controller (xbox controller)
• View captured screenshots with a grid view
• Rotate (deque-wise) history
• Delete all/Save all history
• Some simple options such as xinput pool interval, history limit, on/off xinput
• With each screenshot:
  • Copy to clipboard
  • Save/Save as individual file
  • Delete from history
  • Pin (skip it when user issues 'delete all')

NOTE: There are better screenshot capturing tools, this is only made because I couldn't find one that I can use with by xbox controller

note: I can't find a way to capture the Print Screen key

note: It will only check state of the first player controller (the first player xbox controller will show the 9-12 o'clock ring as first player)

Requirements

Required

• pipenv
• Python 3.12

Windows

• It is not cross-platform due to these problems:
  • pywin32 (for clipboard reading, couldn't find one cross platform that supports copy as bitmap)
  • tkinter (xpnative theme)

TODO

• Maybe save files in another thread so that it will not block the tkinter mainloop
