Feature suggestion - take screenshot without icons and icon in the windows tray to close #156

Open fallsdevil opened 1 week ago

fallsdevil commented 1 week ago

I discovered this app two days ago; I really liked it because I wanted something like this to create mind maps. Maybe this isn't the focus of the software, but I would suggest the option to hide all icons so we can save the image, for a cleaner interface.

I noticed a negative point, when I start the app, it opens on the desktop and I would like it to be possible for it to open by default in the board interface and when I try to close it, I have to do this process through the task manager, and Click finish twice. If it had an icon in the hidden tray of Windows or appeared in the taskbar, it would be more useful for us to close it easily.

It would also be cool to translate it into other languages, I'm Brazilian and I could try to help translate it into Portuguese if it's on weblate or crowdin.

Thank you for your suggestion! Since most of the developers of Ink Canvas have already graduated from high school and no longer need this software or are busy with their studies, the development of this project has slowed down significantly, even coming to a halt. However, we genuinely want to implement localization support. Therefore, please keep this issue open for future development, if possible.

https://github.com/InkCanvas/InkCanvasForClass is a fork I once developed, which implements all these features including: hidden toolbar screenshots based on Magnification API. And taskbar icon. But because the development of this project is too chaotic, I had to stop. If you are interested, please go to the link above to check it out.

Including Ink Canvas and InkCanvasForClass, they all hard-code strings into the XAML file. Unless you rewrite the entire project, it will be a huge project.

I am currently planning the development of an Ink Canvas Reborn version, which will provide multi-language support, fix most of the current problems, and merge some advanced features from the unstable (even unfinished) InkCanvasForClass into this branch version.

Since WXRIW is very happy with Ink Canvas and both forks of the project, Ink Canvas Artistry and InkCanvasForClass, have stopped being updated, the development of the project has stagnated. The best advice is to hope that someone will fork Ink Canvas and continue the development (that person will probably be me).

Thanks! I will test it, I am also testing tldraw and excalidraw, but I tested the online version, I am not good at installing to run locally and the screenshot part is really cool because I use mochi flashcards. (:
