Check out Greenshot for taking quickly screenshots. If gives you quite a bit of control over the screenshots and can screenshot segments of a page straight to clip-board for pasting into RW.

Ok I'm interested - do you plan on having any actual complied releases for this fork? All I can find on github is the source and honestly I don't want to download the JDK just to check it out.

I recently learned about that and didn't think about it. Thanks. Great hint.

The url provided takes you to a compiled program, Worked for me, still working on the curve

Believe it or not - that was helpful as the download link was only visible if you enabled javascript on the page - I don't by default and so I didn't even see that download button.

Thanks!

Glad you got it working. The token tool is brilliant

Quick FYI: Go to File -> Add Resource to Library and add your various folders and it creates basically just a folder view from that.

If you have any PDF's in those folder(s), it will show them as a "folder" and clicking on it will then extract the contents as "assets" to drag over to MT. I only cache the PDF results and delete the cache when you close MT as some PDF's could have many large images (like a map folio).

As a side note, if you have any Hero Lab portfolios in those folders, they will also show up as "folders" and clicking them will extract the characters as tokens for use. (here I keep a reference to the portfolio and store the statblocks/images for use in MT. My framework can auto-create pathfinder tokens using the XML data, but that is another post...)

You mean maptool can open pdfs on the fly and shows the images as tokens`?

Yessir just checked. Takes a few on the big PDFs (took about 5 min to convert the Mythic Heroes Handbook), but it'll do it!

Specifically my Fork can, yes. maptool.nerps.net

It also reads Hero Lab portfolios as tokens as well.

Like ErinRigh said, it can take a few minutes on large PDF's. It's multi-threaded so it can do multiple pages at once, and the results are cached for that session.

It works great for those pesky interactive maps!
