Version: 0.8.1 (using KDE 4.4.2) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages I frequently use ksnapshot to create screenshots of my portfolio items. It would be useful in this and other instances where a group of snapshots are taken to be able to repeat a snapshot. Fullscreen mode would simply resnap the entire screen. Window capture would resnap the originally selected window. This would be most useful in Region mode, where the coordinates and size of the snap rectangle could be repeated. This would allow groups of snapshots to be aligned in the same place, either for visual continuity or to create a unified starting point where further image editing could be optimized.

This one could be useful. When i a write a tutorial i need to take full screenshot of the same windows. It could be easier if i can draw my first box and next capture will be the same size. Bonus: autosave on screenshot.
Created attachment 77401 [details] Patch to re-use the last shape used (rectangular and freehand regions) While most ksnapshot use cases are covered by single snapshot and leaving ksnaphot, some users keep ksnapshot open to take series of snapshots, or just because the first shot was not good enough. In this case, it is frequent that the user wants to take several snapshots in exactly the same, or in a very close position of the screen. Because precisely locating rectangular handles or freehand shapes is a cumbersome task, it would be very nice if ksnapshot could remember the last shape. The user could either reuse the same shape by pressing Enter or double-clicking, or fine-tune the rectangular handles or translate a freehand shape. The patch attached does this. It does not affect the workflow of the users who want to take a single snapshot. It only has an effect at the second use of either Rectangular or Freehand regions. The user who is not interested in this feature can easily override it by drawing another shape at a different place (possibly dragging the former shape to a different location of the screen if the new shape is completel included inside the older one). Because the use is easily understandable, straighforward and easy to override, I think there is no need to add an option, whoch would just complicate the gui for an option that many users do not need at all, and that user who need it will understand immediately.

Jérôme, thanks, the patch looks good (except for the trailing spaces in the doc text). Do you have a git account (or would you like to create one) to commit to master?
Jérôme, please answer comment #5.
(In reply to comment #5) I do not have a git account yet (I was just very busy lately to consider coding). I will request one if you think this is best.
Since we have soft feature freeze today, I will commit it for you this time. It is simpler for us if you request an account and commit it yourself (after review) next time.
