Hide all Objects

[OLLI_S]

Hello,

I test applications and therefore I make screen shots of the application.
The errors in the application (like invalid label, bad position) I mark in Screenshot Captor with a red border.
Borders get numbers and in a document I write some text.

It often happens that in a screen shot there are 5 to 7 borders.
So it is hard to see the original screen shot without the borders.

When I talk to the programmer I sometimes want to show him the original screen shot without any borders, numbers and arrows.
Of cause I could copy the screen shot before I start painting on it.
But it would be more effective if I hide all objects created with Screenshot Captor to see the original screen.
A second click shows them all again.
So in meetings I can switch between the original screen and the screen with objects.

Deleting the objects and undo the deletion is not a good way.
Hiding the objects would be much more comfortable.

This is a very interesting request.

Let me ask, would it be sufficient to your needs if i add a menu option under the File menu that said "Save copy without objects as.."
that would save a copy of the file without any objects on it?

Hello Mouser,

thank you for your quick answer.

Let me give you some background information.

I work as a usability engineer and my job is to check applications.
One part is also the design and there are many GUI "errors".
Last I checked a web application and had 102 screen shots of different pages and different data.
Now I am working on an other application and there I have 8 borders on one screen shots (this is the page with max. errors).

Then I go to the programmers and show them the errors that should be fixed.
Sometimes a red border is covering other components (like group boxes) so here I would like to see the original image without objects.
Then I go back to the screen shot with the borders and continue with the next "problem".

Saving the image without objects is not really what I need.
If you look at the web application I would have 102 additional images, just for the "original image".
Of cause this would work as a dirty work around but here I can create a copy of the screen shot BEFORE I start paining on it.

So the best solution would be a menu entry "Hide all objects" and if the objects are hidden then you should show "Show all hidden objects".
Your suggestion is not really what I need.
