Getting just a copy ...
« on: November 13, 2020, 10:21 PM »
of the captured screen

Once a screen has been captured is there a way to get it (Windows 10 and Ctl-C) so that it can be pasted (Ctl-V) somewhere else.  It seems that to do that one must save it to the clipboard and retrieve it from there which takes longer to do because of the extra steps needed to retrieve it.

Thanks,

Frank

On the 'Post-Capture Options' preferences page, there is the 'Copy to clipboard' combobox with a choice of what you can copy to the clipboard. I've set it to 'Image bitmap' myself:
