I've written a similar app in java before, now a .Net-dependent one in ironruby... but there still remains the problem of a multi-platform solution. A tool that takes a shot of every screen, not just the main one... It would be something very simple like: ScreenShotApp.grab_and_save_to("c:\\screenshot.png") which would also cope with: ScreenShotApp.grab_and_save_to("/Users/nat/screenshot.png") ...etc... On being called, it would figure out what platform it's running on and use the appropriate (and well-hidden-from-the-user) platform-specific code. Any takers? Great stuff.
