Question (request?) about red box capture

[mmcevil]

Why does it require an extra step?  Can't it be treated like any other capture, and do whatever post-capture stuff you have selected?

Thanks!

Does red box mode not apply post-capture operations?

As for why it requires an extra step after the capture -- are we talking about the extra dialog presenting you with the chioces about scrolling capture, etc.?  Assuming so, it's just a tradeoff -- the redbox mode takes more steps and lets you do additional stuff.

[mmcevil]

Yes, the extra dialog. Could there be some way to have an option to say you don't care about all the extra stuff and just doing your plain old post-capture options without the dialog?
Or, maybe a new capture mode... redbox-lite

Question -- are you using it to capture and object or a region?

[mmcevil]

An object.  But, region could work just as well, since I don't need scrolling and all that.  I just don't want to go through the extra step of selecting the region every time either.

[mouser]

What if i had a shortcut that captured and bypassed, like shift+click.  So if you are holding shift when you click to capture, it does a capture without the extra dialog.

[mmcevil]

Sure! 
Thanks!

In the next beta there is now an option for this (accessible from the gear icon in the red box selection mode).
