I just Downloaded ShareX 16.1 and am trying to learn how to use it. I see no help recourses within the Program. I see no help info searching on google.
Does anyone know how to get a help guide for this program?
In figured out how to take a screen shot. When I hit save it saves it to a folder I am not happy with. Does anyone know how I can change the folder where it is being saved?
When I take a screen shot how can I get a copy of the screen shot I just took to show on my desktop?
I have a lot of questions about using this program. Can someone please direct me to help or support for this program. Really Appreciate It!

Hello @zipsick and welcome to ElevenForum. :-)

I don't use ShareX, but many on here do.


But I can give you ten points for filling out your computer specs. :-)

Hi, welcome to the forum 🙏

To view screenshots:
Double click the Tray Icon to view the screenshots taken.
You can Right click on an image to edit image/add annotations like I am in my screenshots.

Change save destination:
Select "Application Settings" go to the 2nd screenshot below.


Win-1501.png


Click on "Application Settings" the "ShareX Application Settings" window will open.
Click on "Paths"
Select "Use custom screenshots folder"
Click Browse to change to new default destination folder.
You can also set the sub folder pattern. Mine is below in the 3rd screenshot.


Win-1502.png



This Sub Folder save structure is using %y-%mo-%d to organise the sub folder pattern/naming.
I find this date pattern will ALWAYS sort folders chronologically.

Win-1503.png


To change it or make your own pattern, just use the formats used for patterns which you can learn by checking the presets. Or select a preset.

Unfortunately, online resources for ShareX usage guides are few and far between. The aforementioned YouTube links is probably the best place to start.

We can't expect too much from a free software in terms of support. But ShareX is a very useful tool. It just needs a bit of a learning curve. Good to know you found your away around it.
