Spark

Improved screenshot feature

Details

  • Type: New Feature New Feature
  • Status: Closed Closed
  • Priority: Major Major
  • Resolution: Fixed
  • Affects Version/s: 2.0.1
  • Fix Version/s: 2.0.2
  • Component/s: None
  • Acceptance Test - Add?:
    No
  • Description:
    Hide

    Improve the screenshot utility so that the user can select the part of the screen to include in the screenshot:

    • When the screenshot button is pressed, hide Spark windows, use Robot to take full screenshot, show full screenshot over everything else, show Spark windows again, and change cursor to a crosshair.
    • If user presses escape, hide the screenshot and do nothing else.
    • If user presses enter, send entire desktop as screenshot
    • If user selects area using crosshairs, send that as screenshot.

    Something to consider: should we show a message at the bottom/top/center of the screen when in screenshot mode? Something like:

    "Use the crosshair to select a screenshot, or press enter to send an image of your entire desktop."
