About The Project
This project is a screenshot utility for Windows. I was unsatisfied with the other options available, most of them lacking the ability to have the screenshot quickly persist onscreen. With the Clips feature, this is super easy.
Features
TWCF has a large featureset.
It's primary purpose is taking screenshots but it can also act as a color picker, read and create QRCodes/Barcodes, perform OCR, act as a file manager, check file hashes, and do regex.
Clips
One of the most popular features is Clips.
A clip is a screenshot which remains on screen and can be dragged around, resized, rotated and copied.
The default hotkey to make a new clip is Alt + Z.

Color Picker
TWCF has a powerful built-in color picker.
The color picker supports conversions between 4 different color spaces, can visualize 3 of them, has hex and decimal input and output and can pick colors directly from your screen.

Image Viewer
The main window acts a file explorer with a builtin image viewing window. You can set some different interpolation modes and drag modes allowing you to zoom and move the image around. There is also a fullscreen button.
By default the file explorer is pointed to your set screenshots folder, so if you ever need to quicly see something you just took a screenshot of, it's right there waiting.
