It’s a system setting IMO.~~ * ~~Besides what’s now in the options panel, there should be default “Name”, “Save as” and “Save in” settings.~~ == Screenshot app ~~(first two suggestions also apply to the preference panel to be)~~ == * Add a “Settings…” button after the “Save as:” drop-down that opens the Translator’s settings. * ~~Add a “Clipboard” in the “Save in:” drop-down.~~ * Make the screenshot image to the left react to mouse clicks: * right-click: context menu with * “Open with” and a submenu with all image/* supporting apps. * ~~checkmarkable “Take whole Desktop”,~~ * ~~checkmarkable “Take active window” plus checkmarkable “Include window border”~~ * ~~checkmarkable “Include cursor”~~ ~~The screenshot image should reflect those checkmarkable changes. So changing from "whole screen" to "only active window" etc. would be possible even after taking the screenshot.~~ * double-click: opens in the preferred app. * drag&drop to save, right-drag&drop additionally offers file formats. I think it would be useful to have the PRINT key just take a screenshot with the preference defaults as usual and have SHIFT+PRINT open the Screenshot app. -- Comment(by Wim): Modified the description to indicate stuff that has been done, or was decided to not be necessary. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/3813#comment:25> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
