Dave, Just did some quick tests and the image seems to be much better than what you get from alt print screen. Now to figure out what screen captures are out of date in the 2.5 manual and fix them... Thanks John On 11/29/2011 6:23 AM, Dave Caroline wrote: applications-screenshot gets you a

Having all ready tried that I can confirm that saving a screen capture as a svg does make it more fuzzy but not in a warm way. John On 11/29/2011 10:01 AM, Sebastian Kuzminsky wrote: I think it's a mistake to convert bitmaps (such as screenshots) to svg. It will distort the image and will
