Originally assigned to: @NickeManarin on GitHub.

Is it possible to launch a record directly from command line?
Something like:

screentogif -boxcorners=0,0,800,600 -duration=60s -savefile=test.gif

?
Thanks!

It's currently not possible to do that.

Thank you for your answer @NickeManarin.

Do you think a simpler feature like:

screentogif -boxcorners=0,0,800,600 -startrecordingnow

(i.e. no stopping, no saving from command-line)

would be possible?

Yes, I'll implement that feature in a future release. But the user would have to pause/stop the recording manually.

Hello,

This feature is really interesting for me too but stopping it manually would break the purpose of launching it in command line.

Is it possible to find a way when the program is closed/killed to save the gif ?
Maybe another command to the exe file ?

Thank you

Looking forward to this feature; it would be nice to be able to bind S2Gif to a hotkey (outside of S2G), and have it start up ready to record a specific part of my screen.

Done. This feature will be available with the next release (v2.32).

I'm going to update the wiki with the details about the switches/command parameters.
But the usage is like this (all parameters were shortened):

.\ScreenToGif.exe -n -o s -r 300,300,400,250 -f 15fps -l 00:00:06 -c

-n = new instance
-o =open
s = screen recorder
-r = region (Rect)
-f = capture frequency
-l = time limit (TimeSpan as HH:MM:SS.FFF)
-c = start capture
