I may have failed to mention it, but this is open source, we figured we would make ure it was stable, and then post on GitHub.
But if anyone wants a copy of the source I will post a link.
'sure

It would be nice to see its source code, but no hurry, I'll wait for github. Very nice app by the way.

Tthanks. Maxim did a great job first time round. Celeste jumped right in. Our goal was simple:
1 Get it working and with an installer (bloody Windows). 2. get source out on GitHub 3. hope it is easy to port to Mac/Linux
then...................................... upgrade it to version 2 - which is to say, take requests and make it much smarter and more fun to use.
Reichart
So we are now working on 2 :)

Does quickshot also allow to obfuscate certain areas of the screenshot?
Reichart
Indeed! you can blur as many places as you like, and control how much blur.
Arnold
Some remarks: - I missed the scrollbars to scroll the taken picture - Why do you need to Login? this is confusing - I could not make a screenshot of a selected window (Alt + Prt Scr)
Arnold
- I could blur using blurboxes, but could not find where to set the blur effect stronger or weaker.
And something positive to end my 'review' :-) Screenshot does have a fresh look and feel about it.
Endo
I could help making a installer for Windows, I've used Inno Setup for several years.
Bo
Endo: The installer seems to already be completed and working.

- You shouldn't need scroll bars, since by default the whole page moves around. (although I think we can tweak this to offer a PIP to help here) Being able to just slide the apage around makes marking it up super fast. - The purpose of QuickShot is to take a pick, and upload it to Prolific. So you need to log in once (remember your name/password) so it can talk to teh server. - All related screen shot issues on your computer are an OS issue, but I would like to get to the bottom of it. What OS are you using? Take a look at this http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-take-a-screenshot-in-any-version-of-windows/ - Mouse center wheel blurs, you will notice hot tips at the bottom of the page. On my trackpad, I can also blur with two fingers on pad. But again, agreed, we need to make the clearer.
The features are designed for speed when processing a lot of images, so in that sense it is like a race car.
Arnold
This is on Win 7 Pro. I recently visited that page for I needed this information to help someone.
Arnold
I need to choose Edit and then "Use Image From Clipboard" to see the new screenshot.
Arnold
It should remember where I saved the previous image. The size of the screenshot should be reset for a new screenshot.
Reichart
- Shortcut - so, can you press [Alt] + [PrtSc] and get a copy of a window into your clipboard? (I'm asking this unrelated to QuickShot) Because I'm assuming this has nothing to do with QuickShot. - It does remember where it saved it, which would be in a Project. Are you saying it does not do that? - Resize - This is an interesting issue, which we have not decided on yet. It does need a graceful solution. But again, this is a screen capture utility for bug testing for example. So most people doing this set it up, and want everything to stay the same. Perhaps we will at least offer a "Reset [Yes] [No]"
Arnold
- shortcut Yes - indeed second screen captured wanted to save in the quickshot dir again - Resize I can imagine that feature to be very pleasant for recurring capturing of almost identical situations.
I decided to go back to FSCapture. I like the features that offers for editing and mainly to quickly select relative part of the screen and using ctrl-C copy pasting it into a (Word) document. This way I collect the screenshots in a sequence and add comments in between too.
Endo
When I select "Autostart with Windows" QS starts and immediately capture the screen into clipboard. It might be better to give a parameter to not capture the screen during the startup.
Reichart
- Shortcut - So I'm still a little confused. You're saying, you 'can' get the window into the clipboard, but that hen you try to paste that (using control+v for example) into QuickShot that does not work? No one we know runs Windows 7 these days, but we will try to test this. - Save location - We will triple check this. - Good points about a single doc with many images. Just so you know, I want this as well, but not in a Word doc (since, well, who the hell wants a word doc) this is the future direction of QuickShot.
