The last time I tried using Snag-It, I found it pricey, and kind of confusing. I really liked Faststone, and would probably purchase it if I was doing frequent documentation. Green-shot works pretty well, but usually I get by with the screen-grab feature of IrfanView or even the mozilla screenshot tool that comes with FF. For images, anything that's in the clipboard can be pasted into TW.
A utility that's really helpful when you need to grab multiple types of information without going back and forth is Ditto, a clipboard manager. So, if you're on a web page, you can grab an image (with FF screenshot), the url, the title of the article,and the text. Then go back and set up your tiddler, inserting the various bits (title, URL field, etc.) without having to go back and forth. Linux has several clipboard managers in its distribution, though none quite as versatile as Ditto. I imagine the world of Mac has such things too. -- Mark On Thursday, April 19, 2018 at 3:27:02 PM UTC-7, TonyM wrote: > > Folks, > > In defence of my original post > > if you use a single file wiki to document a process and treat it as a > document then including images and videos is fine. > > Link or iframe to YouTube for larger videos is sensible anyway. > > I know we expect TiddlyWiki to do everything, but we cant make it break > the rules that apply everywhere else such as web developers are always > forced to reduce page size and load times so why should we be the exception? > > Regards > Tony > > > On Thursday, April 19, 2018 at 5:40:15 PM UTC+10, TonyM wrote: >> >> Folks, >> >> I use SnagIt from TechSmith for screen capture and videos.
