Feature Suggestion

Question

Not sure where Feature Suggestions can be posted...

Hey there... upgraded in 2/1/2020. Happy every since.

Two suggested features that would help me a lot - and perhaps others.

Feature Suggestion 1: A lot of times, I capture a PDF and a PNG for the same "reason"
- but with different "purposes."

Example: I am currently viewing a website - and in this example, it doesn't matter if it's the Current Page, Entire Page, or a Selection from a Page.

I need to save whatever I want to copy - as both a PDF and a PNG. Net result is 2 files... 1 PDF and 1 PNG. I do this all the time - on the daily - 4 or 5 times a day. The reason is the PDF gives me a clean copy (except the embedded page info) and the PNG copy allows me to QUICKLY edit/remove things from the image - like my Delivery Address, Credit Card Payment Info / etc. The PNG version is meant to show "other people". The PDF version is intended for "personal record keeping."

Feature Suggestion 2: I used the "section tool" a lot. Currently the selection tool allows you to select a start and an end point - ie: Copy from Here to Here. This is useful if the left and right margins are variable.

For me in my cases... my left and right margins are fixed - ie: I want the entire width of the page to copied - it's lenth that's variable.

What would be useful is... another "selection tool or mode" that see where the mouse pointer is and simply captures up to that point. For example: Selection Tool appears - and assump Capture Start Point is always the top of the page - User scrolls to their end point - the location they want to capture to stop at... and the Tool captures the selection from the Top to the user select end point - regardless of wide.

This could be done by the user "drawing a horizontal line" with the mouse to indicate the end-point and initiate the capture process.
Another feature could be the exact same thing - exact the STARTING and END POINTS are user-definable - with the width being fixed to the entire width.

This featire would work with "viewable", "entire page", and "selection".

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your suggestions! The feature suggestion #1 doesn't seem to be a popular feature. Since we're trying to keep FireShot simple, I'm afraid we'll postpone this request until it gets more votes. Regarding the suggestion #2, here's a prototype how the full-width selection is going to work in one of the next releases: https://imgur.com/a/KNcUSoi (the width of the rectangular selection automatically is set to 100% when ALT is pressed). P.S. The 'capture until the line' and 'capture starting from the line' are also will be introduced.

Thank you! Appreciate your feedback.
