To those ppl that Ryan mentions, “Some people don’t like to install applications though”, I have a question for you:

Would you rather install something that works through out windows (across all the programs) or just in one app?

To give another example: I don’t understand the point of mouse gesture add-ons for Firefox when one can use the excellent StrokeIt.

Actually, there are good reasons for both of those things though. If you’re only using a specific feature in your browser, then why would you get a program that will just eat away at your memory all the time? Also, you have to consider the issue of cross-platform screenshots. All of the available screenshot tools in Linux aren’t very good, and this would be the first thing that I would want to use in a case like that.

Consider also Pearl Crescent Page Saver Basic (263Kb). It does quite the same work but you can’t crop the screen shot. However you’ll find it at [pearlcrescent.com]

It’s nice, but no editor or annotation features as Wild pointed out.

Some people don’t like to install applications though, and this is a great tool for providing helpful screenshots.

That program is nice, but it is a bit outdated. It hasn’t been updated since 2002.

i have tried Fireshot and it is fast, annotation is great fun and it works very well (if you have the extra memory);

it has one big limitation:
it takes no screenshot if you have a card open, like Tools>Options;
it just sits there; pitty that;
