[Sugar-devel] Screenshot feature [GSoC Project]

[Sam Parkinson]

Hi Utkarsh,

The modal popup looks very nice.  We actually need to make an api for 
modal popups so that we can replace the sub menus (eg. in journal 
palettes) with modal popups.  That might interest you.

Anyway, how does this feature work in with the current screenshot 
feature?  You can already take a screenshot by going into the frame, 
clicking the display button and then clicking the screenshot button.  
(There is also the Ctrl-1 keyboard shortcut).

Why do you add a modal popup?  Doesn't the journal already let users 
rename the screenshot?  Couldn't the screenshot taken notification be 
less obtrusive (eg, add a notification under the journal icon, similar 
the way that activity notifications work)?

Thanks,
Sam
