I disagree, and I think you are ignoring the following facts: - People are often asking for it (see duplicate, where people say creating new selections would not become too difficult when I asked). - There were no complaints in KSnapshot, which remembered the region until a restart of the app. > Another option would be to make the checkbox to turn off remembering > easily accessible in the overlay UI I now tried to fit this into the existing overlay UI, and I'm very unhappy in how that turned out: It added bloat, it looked quite out-of-place, felt unnatural and most of all at that stage (i.e. when you already restarted capturing) it is too late, we already forgot the previous size. Nobody will see and check the box when taking the first screenshot, but everybody will get frustrated once they realized they should have checked the box before taking the second screenshot. --- > I'm in favor of making the feature more discoverable > for the people who would benefit from it. Alternative proposal for a combobox or radiobuttons in the settings dialog (wording not final): - Remember region until restart (default, like KSnaphot) - Remember region across restarts - Do not remember region This would have the following advantages: - The novice users you are targetting only ever take a single screenshot, and would not be affected at all. - People taking multiple screenshots in the same session for comparison purposes would get what they expect. - Everybody else can get exactly what they want by changing the setting. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
