Sorry, my mistake. Should have mentioned. Indeed I use it most of the time with
just Printscreen key to "region+save output file" with that script at the
moment. I use Ctrl+Printscreen to call the Gui when I want something different.

Yes, in case I can make it stay longer before it hides it should be a
workaround as well. Thanks for the tip.

I don't upload images, I just gave an example of tools that allow it. And yes,
I totally agree with you. Upload everything automatically would light many red
lights on privacy side.

Thank you, I really appreciate it. I'm not a programmer my self but I do have
an idea how much hard work must be done before a feature like this be designed,
implemented, tested... so on. My dirty workaround is serving me well for my
needs.
