I had an idea and wanted to share it. I didn't know who had written
xaaes-snap although I suspected Lonny because he had done the
Milan-snap screenshot app. Both are excellent.

As a developer I never take suggestions of improvements as criticism
although I've worked with lots who do. Sometimes even users have
good ideas ;-)

Xaaes snap works perfectly but having the checkbox option of starting
your default image viewer or editor would IMHO make it more powerful.

For instance you could snap the screen and have Photoline automatically
start up and open the image file. You could then annotate the
image and save it.

Useful ?
