Enhancement Suggestion: Allow multiple preference files
« on: September 19, 2008, 05:48 PM »
It would be nice to be able to store the preferences in different files and to load them up by selecting from a drop down menu. The reason this would be handy is if you are working on different projects that require different effects, naming conventions, crops, frames, etc. be applied to the various screen captures. Once the settings are saved for a particular project you just need to load them backup to use them. It would also make sharing the setting easier.

Cheers,
Troy

Excellent!

Lately I have been making really good use of Screenshot Captor for different projects. I found myself having to set the folder where pictures are stored every time. I found myself changing the post-capture options, file naming template and special effects option.
