BTW. I have problems grabbing screens with moving stuff with SGrab... is there any trick for it? Seems like screen gets updated while SGrab is grabbing it... for example SnapIT (on MOS) seems to work much better on that case...

SGrab does have some issues. For example I've noticed that if the particular volume it tries to write to pops up a requester (for any reason, say the volume needs to be inserted), SGrab locks the system up.

Indeed, there are other nice tools available aswell, but SGrab is quite good app for AmigaOS 3.x (it has usable GUI, grabbing to jpg/png/ilbm directly, mark&grab etc).

SGrab is indeed a great screen capture util with a lot of functions. But I personally found it to be *too* good and kept forgetting how to work it properly. So I've gone back to CyberGrab activated from a ToolsDaemon menu so that it doesn't take a screengrab including its own start icon. If you have a few screens open you can quickly hold down the left A key and tap on the M key to toggle to the screen you want to capture. The captures are in ILBM but I load them into PPaint and convert them to PNG for the A1200 Desktop, or load them into Cyber-Photogenics and convert them to JPEG in the A4000 with GFX card :-)

A4000_Mad:

SGrab also works from command line, so you can include it to any script or tool manager etc... I have SGrab as a global hotkey in Magellan.. so I just hit certain key combination to grab any frontmost screen to ram: as png. And with little delay, so that I have time to open some menu or whatever I want to include in the shot. I don't like to use any GUI:s or icon clicking or similar on this kind of job :)

TurboPrint also has nice grabber with hotkey...

Obviously, I have missed something.
But what and where?

Actualy whis is not a problem with SGrab. You can reproduce this lock up in many different ways. While AmigaOs3.5 was being produced, and later Amigaos 3.9 I pointed the programmers to this bug but it was never fixed. If two same thing happened exactly at the same time (opening of a new screen at the same time a requester opens, opening a menu at the same time a new screen opens) AmigaOS would freeze. It had been the main problem for me with AmigaOS since the beginning. Actualy it started to happen more after I started using fast processors because I was working much faster with the OS until then.
