FAQ

Can JShot capture images from video players such as VLC or MPlayer?
It depends on your operating system. The video players usually run in overlay mode. In this mode the result will be a blank rectangle. The reason for this is that the graphics are bypassing the normal screen and going directly to the video card. In this case you should use the builtin capture method of the player and open it with JShot. In Windows XP, you can disable hardware acceleration - but I don't recommend it - by opening the Display Properties menu, clicking on the "Settings" tab, clicking, "Advanced", "Troubleshoot", and moving the Hardware Acceleration Slider to "None."

Where does JShot store its configuration files?
JShot stores its profiles, plugins and config in the ".jshot" directory. This directory is placed in your home.
For example:
Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\.jshot or C:\Users\<username>\.jshot
Linux: /home/<username>/.jshot
