Sorry, I found the feature… (keeps related to FEATURE 1292).

Couldn’t find “auto-crop” option in last Greenshot version… but could it be resolved with smth like presented in FEATURE-1292?

Capturing single windows or even subwindows is great but it won't work when capturing via remote desktop. So we rely on the capturing of regions in theses cases.
We may use the magnifier and clean the screen shot by cropping or auto crop afterwards.
But that requires quite some mouse clicks for every capture.
So why not provide an auto crop like mechanism to snap the selection to the borders while selecting?
That would be a very quick way of capturing the relevant region without any further clicks - at least in the best case

Hello,
I've recently switched to Greenshot from a commercial tool, and the lack of "auto-auto-crop" is one of the few things that really bug me. Adding a Keyboard shortcut would be a first step, but personally, I would like to see an option in the Preferences dialog, probably on the Capture page
Auto Crop after Capture: [No|With Confirmation|Without Confirmation]
"No" should be the default and not change the current behaviour.
"With Confirmation" should effectively be the same as selection Edit > Auto crop - the confirmation buttons should appear
"Without Confirmation" should make the program behave as if I selected Edit > Auto crop and accepted the proposed crop area.
This would speed up things a lot.
Thanks
Volker

Hi Mark,
Yes, that should help us a lot. Actually Greenshot is able to see every element in IE, and I have some nice ideas with that possibility but it was so slow that I need to see if I can speed it up...
In theory this is also possible with Firefox, although it's a bit more complex... As there is no direct way of communicating with it like with IE.
Anyway, maybe the future will bring some additional nice features when I get it to work more quickly.
For now I can at least add a short-cut for the auto-crop.
Best wishes,
Robin
Allow "auto crop" to happen automatically as you are capturing (without having to go to the menu), with the option to accept it. I almost always use "auto crop" right after I capture because I am remoting to another machine or because greenshot will not capture inner windows. There should be an preference to turn this off in the options.
