to append windows title to file

[Tiddu]

i created a eg task that use nirsoft utilities nircmd cmd and take screenshot of all the windows I switch to using taskmonitor. i use this to recover pc session whenever pc crashed. this is working good but I am trying to append window titles and app name to the outcome.

C:\n.a.d\nircmd\nircmd.exe loop 1 1000 savescreenshot "C:\n.a.d\chkpix\addy all apps\scr~$currdate.MM_dd_yyyy$-~$currtime.HH_mm_ss$.jpg"

I feel like this could use python , findwindow etc but I don't know python

current outcome - scr11_02_2020-10_42_20
desired outcome - excel_workbook1_scr11_02_2020-10_42_20

try the task monitor plus plugin. it is located here
https://github.com/Boolean263/EventGhos ... onitorPlus

This will tell you when an application has opened and also when it has closed. It will also generate an event if the Window Caption changes.

What you are interested in is the payload that is attached to the events.

create a new macro and add a python script action. paste the code below into the python script

Code: Select all

print eg.event.payload.title

drag and drop an event for an application opening into the macro. Then start the application and see what gets printed out.
