5 years ago ... we had the idea of even distributing it with our product so our customers could do it as well. However, I believe for this case it would be good a "simplified mode", where basically you always record full screen (maybe selecting between monitors) and with Play/Stop, then straight to saving as an image
First, you don't want to create log recordings in GIF or animated PNG format. Those files are going to be huge. You'd want to save them to compressed videos.
Second, the reason to use ScreenToGif is for it's excellent editor component. There are a host of free screen recording programs out there that are considerably simpler and don't require extra steps to export to full screen, compressed video. Two places I'd start:
Easy Screencast Recorder is dead-simple, won't confuse clients, and saves to reasonably small files. http://www.donationcoder.com/software/mouser/popular-apps/easy-screencast-recorder . It's unfortunately not free for commercial use.
ByteScout Screen Capture - I haven't tested this but I'm a fan of the development team. It's freeware. https://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Graphic/Graphic-Capture/Bytescout-Screen-Capturing.shtml
Third, if the bandwidth necessary to transfer long, full screen videos for bug reports, you might want to look into programs that records steps such as Windows' own PSR tool and the many alternatives out there. Unfortunately my experience here is that you've got to pay for something if you want quality as the free options aren't very accurate. This was discussed some in #142 .
Hope that helps.
We like it so much in our company that we are internally using it to record steps to reproduce bugs in bug reports.

Hi, First of all thanks and congrats on the very nice tool!

I understand that this is not really something that is critical or that would have a very high priority, but I believe this would be useful for other people as well.
Thanks!
