Update UI Config to have better explanations in general (tooltips, paragraphs, etc).
Add a few more location options to UI Config.
Fix CommunityCenter location not working when config has specifically selected it as an option (worked fine if using "Any" or "Unknown"). This bug has been around for a long time.
Fix issue where if a player does not have a config.json file, the file is created but includes two sets of SnapshotRules instead of the normal single default set. This bug was introduced in v3.0.
Version 3.0.0
BREAKING CHANGE: Takes screenshot on correct day of the week. Fixes screenshots not being taken on the correct day in some cases, such as when specifying certain exact days like Day_X or taking screenshots only on some weekdays instead of all. As in, would take the screenshot the day after whichever one was specified; so if config had "Sundays", it would be taken on Mondays. As of this release, "Sundays" will now cause the screenshot to actually be taken on Sundays, for example. You may need to update your config.json due to this change.
Now compatible with Generic Mod Config Menu.
New config options for the following global screenshot settings: AuditoryEffects (camera sound), VisualEffects (flash effect), ScreenshotNotifications (popup notification).
Added location options for IslandWest, IslandFarmhouse, IslandFieldOffice.
Version 2.0.1
Fixed compatibility issue with latest Stardew Valley version.
Version 2.0.0
Added custom rules for screenshots.
Version 1.2.0
Added a config option to disable automatic screenshots on rainy weather days.
Fixed bug where screenshot was taken multiple times if player returned to title screen and then played on a save file again.
Version 1.1.0
Added config option for enabling a screenshot keyboard shortcut.
Added config option to choose what time the screenshot gets taken after.
Added config option for how often a screenshot gets taken.
Added option to change screenshot folder destination. Particularly useful for syncing screenshots to the Cloud.
Added the screenshot sound and notification that typically appears when the in-game button is pressed, for all screenshots taken.
Fixed bug where screenshots were not moved to farm folder successfully on Mac computers.
Version 1.0.4
Fixed bug where screenshots were not moved to farm folder successfully on Mac computers.
Version 1.0.3
Fixed bug where any save files with the same farm name would have their screenshots put into the same folder.
Fixed bug where mod failed to work in rare cases for certain machines.
Version 1.0.2
Fixed bug where some players' buildings were invisible in screenshots.
Fixed bug where players could not take screenshots in multiple save files without restarting the game each time.
Fixed bug where weather in screenshots was always clear, with actual in-game weather visible in upper-left hand corner. Now weather in screenshots always appears the same as it does in-game.
Added more update keys so that when the mod is updated, a more player-friendly website will show up as a link instead of GitHub.
Changed destination folder of screenshots to be StardewValley/Screenshots (which can be accessed in-game in the menu, at the bottom of the "Options" tab).
Made it so that if the player has a screenshot taken but then later restarts the day, another screenshot will be taken and will overwrite the old one.
No longer requires MapImageExport dependency.
Version 1.0.1
Added multiple screenshot folders, one per save file, so screenshots of different save files don't get mixed up.
Shortened mod description in manifest file so it is more likely to appear on one line in the terminal when the game is launched.
Bumped Map Image Export dependency version from 1.0.6 to 1.0.7.
Version 1.0.0
Added main feature of automatically taking a daily screenshot of player's entire farm when they first exit their house.

This is an example of what you can do with this mod. You can customize the quality and size (this example is a lower quality due to file size restrictions on the website used to host this image). By taking a daily screenshot, eventually you'll have enough images to create a GIF that shows your farm progress over time!
Features
One screenshot is automatically taken of your entire farm every day as soon as you leave your house.
Super easy to gather screenshots to create a GIF that shows how your farm changes over time! GIF makers can be found online, such as ezgif GIF maker. Here is an example.
Customizable! Change any number of default settings based on your preferences. Examples:
What time of day to take screenshot.
How often to take screenshot (daily, weekly, monthly, etc).
Keyboard shortcut that takes screenshot when pressed (set to "None" by default).
What weather conditions are allowed. It is common to allow all except rainy/stormy days, but default option allows all weather.
Add multiple sets of rules (example, 1 set for daily automatic screenshots, 1 for manual key-press screenshots).
Screenshots are sent to your StardewValley/Screenshots folder, with each save file getting its own "FarmName-Screenshots" folder. Screenshots between multiple save files will not get mixed up.
Easily access the screenshots in-game by scrolling to the bottom of the "Options" tab in the menu and clicking the "Open Destination Folder" button.
Keeps the screenshots in the correct order to make creating the GIF easier. This is achieved by naming each screenshot with a "year-season-day.png" numerical format. For example, on Year 1, Winter, Day 3, the screenshot would be named "01-04-03.png".
