- Author updated a three-year-old Emacs screenshot tool to improve functionality.
- Improvements include saving screenshots to the current directory instead of a fixed path and allowing filename overrides.
- Added feature to scale down screenshots by specifying a desired width.
- Shared the updated code snippet for the 'frameshot' function, which handles screenshot capture and optional resizing.
- Acknowledged the lack of error checking in the tool, accepting it as a personal utility rather than a production-grade package.
- Highlighted the efficiency of Emacs for quickly developing small, useful tools in under 15 minutes.
