It would be nice if Spectacle remembered what saving mode the user used last time and place it as the default one when it is started the next time. For example, Peter likes to name his screenshots and he prefers Save As and Exit, since he takes only one screenshot at a time. Marge likes to take multiple screenshots at a time, so she prefers just 'Save'. Ricardo has OCD :) and likes to create multiple screenshots at a time, and to name them, so he prefers 'Save As' without exit. The alternative to using the last action as the default is to add the explicit configuration option to the configuration dialogue.
I'm deferring this to the next cycle.
I would like to add to this, along with remembering which save mode, have Spectacle remember the last folder location. Currently, going to Save As... the home folder is selected. If I change this to another folder, and then take a different screenshot, and going back to Save As... the location reverts back to home folder. Even with the default save folder changed in preferences, this location is not the one shown in the Save as.. dialog
Another very important "small" thing which made using KSnapshot so great. I am just commenting to raise awareness and add myself to cc.
Albert: The Save-As issue was a real bug which I ended up fixing in https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=spectacle.git&a=commit&h=33aa1dd69151c0067361bf6d1eef40cd6c752559 I had to switch to Qt's in-built Save As dialog box for two bugs with KDE's one - I've filed bug reports #357863 and #357865 for them. When they're fixed I'll switch back to KDE's dialog box. As for this particular one - I'll take a crack at it now. Let's see how it goes :-)

dont mean to nitpick, but can you also have it remember filename.filetype when saving? ksnapshot would remember file and type (and add a number as in "file1.jpg")
Sure. File a new bug and I'll get around to it. But do file a new bug, or I'll forget.
