A couple of small requests
« on: October 24, 2007, 11:43 AM »
On the right-click context menu of the tray icon, I'd love a "Explore at screenshot directory", that does exactly the same thing as the same item in the file menu.

If possible, without too much horrible COM hell, it would also be nice to have a "explorer file-cut last screenshot", so I could open explorer and simply ctrl+v paste the file... but that feature isn't as important, and probably hellish to code.

sure i can add Explore at screenshot directory..

as for #2, i can look into it, but you know you can already just copy the IMAGE to the clipboard and then ctrl+V in explorer to have it create Clipboard Image.bmp in the directory.  Not as good as creating a copy of the png, but if that's sufficient there it is.  can you tell us why on earth you would use this feature?

Plain laziness - useful if I have "\\server\web\images" open in my explorer already... but "explore at screenshots" would be fine enough, and would spare you from COM hell :)
