Sharex: [11.0.1] [Feature Request] Add Back in Capture Region (Annotate)

[csprance]

Can't seem to find the Capture Region (Annotate) option in 11.01. This was an extremely handy feature. It also broke any old Hotkey setups from version 10 in 11.0.1 that used this Screen Capture option.

Was it removed replaced?

Because I was added annotation support to current rectangle region capture, it could confuse people having 2x annotate method (or 3x if you include image editor too) for no reason. But I should have waited until current one have pen drawing before removing it, so it was not good decision :(

But other than pen drawing current annotation support surpasses all other features of it and will be more preferable, especially because current region capture also have other useful region capture related feature in it.

[csprance]

Ahh, ok. I use a Wacom tablet almost exclusively and quite frequently need to provide feedback on art assets which often involves my terrible scribbles, handwritten words and curves. Sounds like this feature is planned so I'll be looking forward to it.

Keep up the great work guys!

I'm having big trouble finding way to add pen drawing without decrease fps a lot. Even if you don't use pen still just having support for it also decreases normal region capture fps. Because then background image must be changeable (because of pen support to draw to background image) which slows rendering time even when you don't draw anything :( So I can add it but it will decrease fps of non pen users too. So I have no idea what to do currently.

+1, the new one with a bunch of stuff is really annoying if you just wanna do a fast capture with some drawing for the whole screen/monitor.

[Jaex]

If I add it back only as hotkey would it be enough? I don't want to have 2x annotate method in capture menu.

[NotSoSuper]

Wow, wasn't expecting you to consider it, definitely would work for me! As for that is all I used it for, I actually downgraded to get it back.

[csprance]

Ya, +1 to the hotkey. I as well downgraded to use it. Critical part of my day as an art director type.

How about a way for us to modify what comes up in the capture menu? Or even a modifiable quick capture button thing? Super handy..

[dannoe]

@SilverCory what about this?

[Jaex]

Added freehand drawing support to region capture now:

[Jaex]

@csprance now there is no need for simple annotate hotkey, right? So I can remove it.

[csprance]

Not sure whether to open a new issue or just continue on this one. It's fairly related.

Is there any way to change a hotkey for freehand drawing while using the region capture workflow?

I just updated to that latest version and it dropped some of my hotkeys because they were on tasks that went away. (region capture (annotate))

It used to be before:

• enter region capture
• hit 3
• draw what I needed
• hit 1
• drag my retangle region capture

Now it;s:

• enter region capture
• right click
• select freehand
• draw what I want
• hit 0
• draw my region

Only one extra step really but it slows down the process considerably having to search for the freehand drawing option.

Is there a way to change the hotkeys used for the tool selection while region capture is activated?

or maybe just bring back the workflow for region capture (annotate)

It's extremely handy to quickly mark up and send a screenshot to an artist with feedback.

Thanks again. This is tool is amazing!

[Jaex]

There is no way to change hotkeys.

If you use Tab hotkey, maybe it can decrease steps more.
