IDEA: Option to make Text tool default after a capture
« on: June 22, 2016, 10:33 PM »
I capture many screens as I am doing coding/testing work.  After each capture, the first thing I do 99% of the time is select the Text tool to add an annotation.  It would be great if there were an option to make this the default tool post-capture.  Thank you for your consideration.

(P I have used many screen capture tools over the years, most recently SnagIt for the last 3 years. Your tool is amazing value, even directly compared to Snagit.)

thanks for the kind words -- it always pleases me to hear such things :)

this isnt exactly what you are asking, but have you tried enabling the post capture dialog after every capture? near the bottom of it there is a field where you can type a captin for the image.
