take screenshot save dialog delay

[940607]

I was surprised to see that the actual screenshot is taken not when you hit Host+E, but after you hit OK in the save dialog.
That's stupid. The picture on the screen has already changed. Any workaround?

If that is true (no way to check right now), I would refer this as a bug or at least improvement to the bug tracker.

Have this issue been resolved or not?

The behavior is the same now as it was then.

It's horrible! 3 years left and no progress have been achieved in this field

actually its not horrible if no one worked on it or no one cared.

especially if nobody opened a ticket like I suggested more than 2 years ago...

[loukingjr]

exactly. I didn't know it was an issue until today once it was mentioned. It seems only one person noticed and then three years later, a second person. high demand.

I have fixed this tremendous deficiency. Here it is and let it be!

Thank you!

I added a suggestion to the above ticket: Rather than have the Save File dialog box, have a vmname-date-time-stamped screenshot file made in a folder chosen in the GUI Preferences. Immediate response on screenshot-taking, and one can go find the file and rename it at one's leisure later.

Thumbs up!

There needs to be some feedback given to the user that something happened. Perhaps a balloon notification.

[loukingjr]

a shutter noise would work.

Also hotkey for this action is a must.
