SUMMARY

Please improve annotation behavior and tool settings for better user experience.

1. The default tools settings like e.g. "object shadow" is on by default. Please don't make it default.

2. Changed tool settings by users are not automatically saved for next session. They reset to quite "strange" defaults each time the user starts Spectacle. Please keep user's tool setting changes for next session.

3. When UNDO (Ctrl+U) is pressed and tools like "number with arrow" was removed the "number counter" (top/toolbar) does not decrease back.

4. Please "Effects" toolbar in tool sidebar.

5. Please join "Zoom" toolbar into top "object settings" toolbar.

6.  The "object settings" toolbar top/bottom margin is too  big.

7.  Please automatically remove "The screenshot has been copied to clipboard" notification after some eg. 10s automatically.

8. Resize annotation inner window to taken screenshot size when starting annotation editor and save last manually set window size for next session, too.

Thanks for this great tool.

The annotation tool is provided by https://github.com/ksnip/kImageAnnotator, please report issues there.

Also please make separate reports for each item, this makes it easier to track them properly
