Earlier quoted context omitted.

Oops, I tested on Win+Mac. Guess I'll be downloading linux then.

i think linux doesnt save the image in the clipboard after you pushed the button, in ubuntu however a dialog is displayed after pushing the button that allow you to copy the screenshot to the clipboard, but this tool is specially designed for this purpose. AFAIK this wont work out of the box in linux :(

Well I guess that's expected behavior. So you may need to explicitly state that the feature works if you save an image on your clipboard -- not just pressing printscreen ;-)

nice work for a weekend app!

I love it. Fantastic for multiple reasons. 1) I can never remember the "intuitive" keyboard combinations to do this on my mac, but I can remember "easyprintscreen" 2) Useful. I can capture my screen, draw on it, highlight issues or bugs or whatnot, and share it. 3) I know you'll keep it running because it has an obvious, lucrative business model (assuming you monitor what screens people capture for the occasional use…

Haha, there's no monitoring setup, infact there's no backend at all :)
