--- Comment #1 from Noah Davis <noaha...@gmail.com> --- While what you're asking for makes some sense, I'm not sure if it's possible to implement without unintuitive side effects. As you say, the screenshot is automatically saved when you do something like open the unsaved screenshot with KolourPaint through the Export menu. Fundamentally, the screenshot has to be saved or an application might not be able to open it, but that's not a blocker on its own. Screenshots can be saved as temporary files that will be automatically deleted later instead, which is something Spectacle is already doing for things like drag & drop with unsaved images. The next steps are where it may become unintuitive. For example, what happens when you press Save in KolourPaint? If the file sent to KolourPaint is a temporary file, you may not be aware or forget that the saved file will be deleted the next time you open Spectacle (that's when old temporary screenshots are cleared). Most apps won't warn you if you save an image in a temporary location, so you could lose a fair bit of time and sanity to mistakes. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
