EliteScreenshots VoiceAttack plugin

Elite Dangerous saves screenshots taken natively (using F10 or alt+F10) as bitmaps in your “Pictures” folder. There are many tools to automatically convert, move and rename those. This one is a VoiceAttack plugin.

Note: In order to use ingame information like your CMDR name or your current system in the output file name you will have to use EDDI and install it as a VoiceAttack plugin.

Install

  1. Go to the latest release.
  2. Download the attached VoiceAttack-EliteScreenshots.zip file.
  3. Extract the contents to the Apps directory in your VoiceAttack installation folder.

Upgrade

See Install.

You can change that by setting the EliteScreenshots.outputDirectory# text variable in VoiceAttack.

File Name Template

The default file name for screenshots is %datetime%-%cmdr%-%system%-%body% (plus the .png extension).

  • %vehicle%: you current vehicle (one of “Ship”, “SRV”, “Fighter”)
