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_
