Suggestions for new options #29

Closed Streakstar closed 9 years ago

Sorry if I should be suggesting all of these as individual issues. I saw this applet and had to try it out, but there are a few options that I feel are strangely absent. I would mostly be using this applet to quickly take snapshots and upload to imgur so I can share them with friends online and I'm sure others use it this way as well.

-Save file? [Yes|No] Decides whether the screenshot will be saved at all.

-Copy Link [Yes|No][Only available if Upload to Imgur enabled] Straightforward, a button available on the notification, like copy image, copy path, etc. that will copy the imgur link of the uploaded image.

-Automatically copy Imgur link [Yes|No] If the picture gets uploaded to imgur, it will automatically copy the link as soon as the image uploads. If the image wasn't uploaded to imgur, nothing gets copied.

-Upload to Imgur and copy link [notification button] Also straightforward, acts like a combination of the "Upload" notification button and the "copy link" button which I suggested.

Most of these are already available in the settings although it's not very intuitive. "Don't Save" hasn't been implemented but that would be a possibility. I'm still planning on a more advanced interactive capture mode which I think would close the gap here, but for now take another look at the options for post-save action and buttons to display in the notifications.

And yes, individual tickets for issues are usually preferred. Thanks for the feedback though!

Well I must be missing something, because I can't find any setting to copy the uploaded link. I know there's an option/button to open the link in your web browser, but I can't find the option/button to simply copy the link to the clipboard without opening it.

Here's a screenshot of the main part of my options menu, are there some missing? screenshot-area-2014-07-13-144317

Yes it's the "enable copying path from notification". This is a local file path except when capturing with the upload toggle on, if I recall correctly.

There is also the "copy to clipboard" option which if set as path gets overridden with URL after uploading, I think.

This is certainly not ideal and I would like to avoid conditional settings conflicting with one another. Perhaps the solution here is to replace the upload button with a copy link button when not otherwise executed.

Oh, thanks for pointing that out it works exactly like what I was looking for. Infact this whole applet works exactly like how I hoped it would when I found it.

Awesome, I'm glad to hear it! :-)
