Improvements in regards to the way the new screenshot feature works.

Deutsch:

Dropbox Screenshot- und Markup-Feature – Bitte verbessern!

Hallo zusammen,
ich bin frustriert vom „verbesserten“ Screenshot-Feature in Dropbox. Die aktuelle Umsetzung stört meinen Workflow erheblich. Folgende Punkte fehlen oder sind unpraktisch:

  • Bild in Zwischenablage behalten oder einfach kopieren können
  • Zoom im Markup-Editor für präzises Arbeiten
  • Teilausschnitte kopieren, nicht nur zuschneiden
  • Standardprogramm wählbar, statt Zwangsöffnung im Markup
  • Vollwertiges Snipping Tool oder zumindest erweiterte Screenshot-Funktion

English:

Dropbox Screenshot & Markup – Needs Improvement

Hi everyone,
I'm frustrated with Dropbox’s new screenshot feature. It seriously disrupts my workflow. Key issues:

  • Keep image in clipboard or allow quick copying
  • Zoom in Markup Editor for detailed editing
  • Copy selections, not just crop
  • Choose default app, not forced Markup
  • Snipping Tool-style features or upgrade the current one

yours
Alex
