As said on xfce mailing list, the “open with” functionality looks really fine.

But I wonder if it's really useful to first provide a filename for saving the screenshot, and then open it in $editor.

I would find it more consistent to only save it to a random filename in /tmp (for example, or maybe .cache?) and then open it in $editor. If the user wants to save it, he'll be able to do it from the editor.

Cheers,

Should be fixed in rev 5981.
Comment 2 Christoph Mende 2008-11-11 19:03:16 CET
The way this is handled no seems a bit suboptimal.
Checking "Show save dialog" and choosing an app to open with makes the plugin ignore the "Show save dialog", this seems to be intended so far, but confuses users. I have a Gentoo bug report from a user who was confused that the checkbox is ignored.
So this should either be reverted or there's gotta be some note that the save dialog will be disabled when an image viewer is selected or the "Show save dialog" option should not be ignored when an image viewer is selected, anyone who wants to save the file from his viewer can still disable this. The last option is the best here imho.

Christoph: I just committed a fix to make this check box uncheckable when an application is selected. I hope that this will be clear enough for most users.

I'm marking this bug as fixed. I'll do some polish on the next release, but not for 1.4.0, I would like to focus on the nasty 4601 bug for now and eventually release a stable version !

Thanks for your suggestion Yves-Alexis, I think it's much better now !
