Get a link to the automaticly stored screenshot file

Description

Often I have to create a screenshot and send it as a file to others or to upload the file into another program. For it I need the link to the file which was automaticly stored by Greenshot. So I have to open an explorer window, navigate to the folder with screenshots and copy the path.

It would be very helpful to have a button or menu item or shortcut where I can get the link to the file.

Manually closing some "pending" items, as the system obviously failed to auto-close after 14 days.

  • *status*: pending --> closed

With the latest version there is an option for this in the context menu.

Best wishes,

For now, I could offer two workarounds for the current version:
* If you are using the image editor: After saving, right click the status bar at the bottom of the editor window. A context menu appears, allowing to copy the path to clipboard or open the directory in Windows Explorer.
* Otherwise: double-click the Greenshot icon in the systray. The directory you have saved to last opens in Windows Explorer.

Yes, the 2nd is not very obvious, I know. This will probably be changed in the future, and replaced by a more versatile solution.

Best regards,
Jens
