------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Feb 9 21:34:03 -0800 2006 ------- Summary: Let the user capture the screen (rectangular/polygon) and save/export. Detailed proposal: Some modules of OOo (e.g. Writer) do not have the full set of drawing tools. For example, Writer does not have connectors, glue points, closed polygons, etc. As a result, sophisticated images cannot be created within those modules. Currently, the user has to follow an elaborate process: 1. Switch to Drawing (or Impress), 2. Create the image using the tools that are unavailable in Writer 3. Save the image 4. Switch back to Writer 5. Insert the image in the Writer's file. This roundabout method can be avoided if OOo allows the user to "draw" a rectangle/polygon on any part of the screen and captures that part of screen. Let the user save it as an independent image (while he carries on working with the rest of the image). Let him also save it on the clipboard, so that he can directly paste the image in an external application, or in Writer. (In this case, he may not want to save the image separately on the disk.) Note that the minimum capability is to capture the screen of a OOo module (Impress/draw); but if OOo can capture any screen OUTSIDE its own window (e.g. another application or desktop), it would be fantastic! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
