Well, you can't search Google for errors using a screenshot! It just seems that having error message text selectable should be a no-brainer. Taking a proper screenshot would mean firing up GIMP or something. The new version of the built-in screenshot module is an improvement, but i was wondering if you might entertain some feature requests? 1) Save options. At the very least, the option to set the file format to something more appropriate for screenshots. Jpeg is probably the worst choice. 2) An option to screenshot a single window. The crop tool is useful, but requires some pretty fine mouse movement while holding a button down. This is a usability and accessibility problem, and isn't as easy as "click on window". Another big problem i've had since... e20-or-so? I simply cannot get the keyboard shortcut for screenshots to work. I was hoping the new module might fix this, but it seems to be a problem with the actual key-binding part of it. In key bindings settings, i click on any key in the left pane to enable the "modify" button (is this a bug?). Press the "modify" button and, when prompted, press the print-screen key. This highlights "Print" in the left pane, which would seem to indicate the keypress is correctly detected. After some scrolling back-and-forth in the right pane (another bug?) i can find the current binding. "Take Screenshot" is highlighted, with the "Action Params" box below it blank. This is the default binding, i haven't changed anything here. If i click on the "Take Screenshot" entry, the box fills with a long line of options. Should one of these options be selected? And the screenshot isn't working because the default is blank?
