Spectacle should also default to opening the file-save dialog in the folder in
which the previous screenshot was saved. In settings it could offer an override
-- ie a radio button defaulting to "Save in last-used folder" but with the
option to set it to "Always save in <user-defined folder>".
Albert mentions the number-incrementing feature which Ksnapshot used to
implement when saving files (which is currently referred to as a serial number
in Spectacle's 'Configure Save Options'). Ksnapshot would add a number to the
end of the previous filename, and if the previous filename already contained a
number, this would be incremented in the new suggested filename.
This was useful in many cases, but annoying in others.
For example, when I saved a screenshot as
"live_blog_3.0_blog_edit_drafts_tab.png", and then took another screenshot,
Ksnapshot would offer to save it as "live_blog_3.1_blog_edit_drafts_tab.png".
Ksnapshot assumed that any number within the filename was an existing serial
number, even though it was in this case a software version number.
If the number incrementing feature is to be re-implemented in Spectacle, it
would be good to make it a bit smarter -- e.g. perhaps it should only increment
a number if it is at the end of the filename string (before the .png, .jpg
etc), and not elsewhere in the filename string.
It would also be good to have the option to switch the number incrementing
feature off, and just be presented with the previous filename.
Needless to say, Spectacle should then warn if the user attempts to save over
an existing filename.
