Description David Collins 2008-11-15 23:08:14 CET
As discussed with Jerome Guelfucci, I have volunteered to add the above functionality to screenshooter.  Copy to clipboard code will be based on gnome-screenshooter, and select a region code will be based on the screenshot plugin for GIMP.

I will follow guidelines for simplifying strings suggested today by Enrico Troger.  I will also make the selection of options clearer for the users.

Hello David,

Regarding the copy to clipboard functionnality, we have a problem for the application. Xfce does not ship a clipboard manager by default so images in the clipboard are not persistent once the application has quit. There exists several standalone clipboard manager, but most of them only support text, not images. However, I tested the clipboard stuff with the panel plugin, and it works quite well.

And one last thing, please provide two separate patches for the two features, so that it's easier to review. I also reviewed most of the strings in trunk based on Enrico's suggestions.

Thank you for your contribution !
