Is there a method to pull via ADB the latest screenshot from my device ?

How to pull the latest screenshot ?

Currently i'm pulling all the files using : 

adb pull /mnt/sdcard/Screenshots c:\screenshots

Then organize them by date in Windows Explorer

Edit1 I can get the latest file using :

adb shell stat -c %y /mnt/sdcard/Screenshots

ADB doesn't support flags, so you'll have to pull all the files(names), then do some logic to find the most recent file, then pull that.

It's possible using a script, more info in this related question.

I'd suggest capturing the output of the adb command that gets ya the latest file and redirecting that to an adb command that does the pulling.

Based off a somewhat related answer for saving the output of a command to a variable...

FOR /F "tokens=* USEBACKQ" %%F IN (`command`) DO (
    SET var=%%F
)

... replace command with the command's output to be captured, then...

adb pull %var% c:\screenshots

... or...

adb pull /mnt/sdcard/Screenshots/%var% c:\screenshots

... should do kinda what ya want.
