  3. Enter filename, don't mention extenstion, its PNG by default
  4. Tick the Save Folder checkbox (to preserve the location for next browsing), enter delay time >= 5, its in seconds.

Dear commentators

@staszekstzynski,

Thanks for the appreciation. We are glad that you liked it, are you sure there's Open button, as far as I remember there was no such label for the button we have, see this for the snapshot of the utility-

@James,

I think the Shortcut key that we have used works only on Windows and probably on Linux, no idea about OpenSolaris. So, I guess if we remove the Shortcut Key, then it might work on your system as well. Sorry, but I don't know how to deal with such key binding issues!

Very useful indeed!

Ideal tool if you want to take a screenshot for example for an article, blog entry or when you want to show your co-worker how to do something. You do not need to wait for a graphics editor to open. You do not need to have any application of that kind at all :)
Screenshot is taken and saved automatically.

In my humble opinion it would be better to rename button "Open" to "Continue" or "Select".
"Open" is little misleading.

Really useful indeed, thanks!

Still doesn't work on a MAC

I just tried hte plugin on my Mac. It doesn't work. When you click Tools > Capture, no browse dialog box opens.
