The beta version of Screenshot for Symbian OS (S60 3rd) is now available on SourceForge.net. Please feel free to download and test it.

Note that this new version is available for S60 3rd Edition only. Furthermore, the binary is unsigned. You need to sign it yourself using developer’s certificate. You cannot use self-signed certificate as this application requires accessing sensitive API. If you don’t know how to sign using developer’s certificate, please see my blog posting, Signing S60 3rd Applications with Your Certificate. Sorry for the inconvenience. I cannot do anything better because of the limitation of Symbian Signed.

What’s new in this version? New shortcuts!!! Yes, finally I have added two new shortcuts in this version:

  • Camera key
  • C (Backspace) key

You can use your Camera key to capture screenshot. I haven’t tested this feature on all phones that have Camera key. However, I have tested it on Nokia N73 and it works fine.

Why do I introduce new shortcuts? The answer is simple. Nokia has removed Edit key, which is used on Screenshot for Symbian OS to capture screenshot. Since some newer phones do not have Edit key any more, we definitely need another key.
