SnapSentry watches the Windows Screenshots folder and handles new screenshots as they are saved. It can copy the image, delete the saved file after a delay, or let you choose from a notification.
- Delete now removes the file without changing the clipboard.
- Copy image and delete copies the image, then removes the file.
- Keep leaves the screenshot alone.
- If nothing is selected, the configured automatic action runs after the delay.
- Image copies a bitmap that remains pasteable after the file is deleted.
- File copies the file for pasting into File Explorer. Deletion is disabled.
- Path copies the full path as text. Deletion is disabled.
- None leaves the clipboard unchanged.
Snipping Tool must be set to save screenshots automatically. The default folder
is Pictures\Screenshots. If Snipping Tool saves to any other directory, set Folder
override to that location.
The first run registers SnapSentry with Windows so its notification buttons work. If notifications are unavailable, SnapSentry uses a standard dialog.
SnapSentry only handles files created after it starts. It cannot remove copies already retained by clipboard history, cloud sync, backups, or other applications. Deleting a file is not secure erasure, especially on an SSD.
Avoid a cloud-synced screenshot folder when quick deletion matters. A sync client may upload or retain the image before the local file is removed.
