| After saving capture file          | Choose what to do after a capture file is saved: **•** *Do nothing*<br />**•** *Automatically open file in*: open the capture file in an external application of your choice.<br />**•** *Run command*: run a command to post-process the capture file. Use `%F` to specify the capture file's path — for example, the command `open %F` opens the capture file using the default application for handling capture files.<br />**•** *Save output to text file*: available when using *Run command*, saves the command's output to a file ending in *.txt* with the same name and folder as the capture file. |
| Show capture complete notification | Choose to be notified when a capture is complete.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
