I like the FastStone utility - not unlike BugShooting or Snagit.... I wrote a little app today that does
I wrote the guts of the application today.... no online editing though.... just the ability to clip a region and auto create the tiddler with the prompts (it saves image locally, and then injects the tiddler into the .html file. I know it is a desktop application and not a plug-in (but I could possibly embed the app in a plug-in - but I am a business guy - not a developer so my skills are rudimentary at best). After seeing Måns' suggestions below (Great ideas BTW!) It got me thinking about using one of these tools to edit the screen captures and autospawn an email with the edited image, put the tiddler title in the subject line, and the body in the body of the message..... So I wrote a little script to auto ingest emails into the tiddlywiki.... I just have a job monitoring a pop account and creating tiddlers for me.... :-) ANy other ideas... keep them flowing....
