snipping tool needs scroll functionality

Submitted by G-Z on August 12, 2008 to Usability

The snipping tool is too limited. Particularly on a small screen not everything that one wants to capture is displayed on the screen. Snipping tool doesn't allow to scroll down a window to select more content than the section that can be seen on the screen.

For small screens it would be helpful if it could make screenshots of window content that goes beyond the screen.

- 1 You can already do this

Where it says "new" click the drop down arrow you have options.

it does already have that feature, but you could argue that the ui is quirky, particulary the excessive use of those non-vista toolbars...

oh, and video capture i'm nearly positive would conflict with antitrust regulations.

@.Chris and europrg_09: Of course you're both right. I'm sorry I didn't know that. I changed the submission. Now it is more specific and focuses on the most important feature I miss.

You are both also correct about the user interface although at this program it doesn't really annoy me that much. Probably because it is meant to be a limited tool with a very specific functionality.
