I'm with mmadia on this one.  This is a feature I've always liked in
ShowImage, that I could open up a newly taken screenshot and outline
the section of the image I wanted and just drag it to the desktop,
just as I can drag a selection of text out of StyledEdit.  It's a
feature I've been using for 12+ years now. ;)
