10.3: Use improved camera screen capture mode
Authored by: ocs on Apr 12, '04 01:00:07PM

Most witty, sure. And so it was, around 1992 or even before, when NeXT offered the feature as part of the Grab application. It was Apple who broke the functionality when they changed NeXTStep into Mac OS X, now they are bringing it back... not too soon, after more'n a decade!

10.3: Use improved camera screen capture mode
Authored by: UberFu on Aug 11, '04 12:03:35PM

There used to be a limited form of the Window capture mode back in OS 9 and 8_ Command-Shift-4 with the Caps Lock ON_

It only caputured the fontmost active window - but I used it all the time when i grabbed screen shots before OS X_ And mostly all I needed was the info in thatt specific window anyway_

But this is cool_ I can stop using the custom crop function of Command-Shift-4 now_ I have a tendancy to drag from the top left to the bottom right if I'm not paying attention and the window control butttons [minimize - resize and close] remain active during a screenshot and will sometimes screw up my shot - so I end up having to do it again and pay attention the second time around_

Been using Macs since their original release and 10.3 is really starting to shape up not only with all the cool new stuff - expose and so on [i'm really diggin' that one - at first I was skeptical and also forgot about it] but also things that we totally loved about OS 9 and earlier that they had left out for the sake of having a functional OS in vX.xx are slowly migrating back in_ For tthe first time since OS X came out back in '99 - I am actually finding myself looking forward to 10.4_ And I'm learning UNIX - old dog - new tricks_
