 The current revision is r30234.[[BR]]
 I’d like to propose a few enhancements in the hope that some are deemed
 worth implementing.

 == Options -> Preferences ==
  * ~~The options panel should get its own panel in Preferences to set
 defaults. It’s a system setting IMO.~~
  * ~~Besides what’s now in the options panel, there should be default
 “Name”, “Save as” and “Save in” settings.~~

 == Screenshot app ~~(first two suggestions also apply to the preference
 panel to be)~~ ==
  * ~~Add a “Settings…” button after the “Save as:” drop-down that opens
 the Translator’s settings.~~
  * ~~Add a “Clipboard” in the “Save in:” drop-down.~~

  * Make the screenshot image to the left react to mouse clicks:
    * right-click: context menu with
      * “Open with” and a submenu with all image/* supporting apps.
      * ~~checkmarkable “Take whole Desktop”,~~
      * ~~checkmarkable “Take active window” plus checkmarkable “Include
 window border”~~
      * ~~checkmarkable “Include cursor”~~

 ~~The screenshot image should reflect those checkmarkable changes. So
 changing from "whole screen" to "only active window" etc. would be
 possible even after taking the screenshot.~~

  * double-click: opens in the preferred app.
  * drag&drop to save, right-drag&drop additionally offers file formats.

 I think it would be useful to have the PRINT key just take a screenshot
 with the preference defaults as usual and have SHIFT+PRINT open the
 Screenshot app.
