600 - Snapshot dialog box bug
Re: 600 - Snapshot dialog box bug
It is not a bug. If I open the picture in editor, I have in editor the function copy to clipboard.

Re: 600 - Snapshot dialog box bug
from my point of view this is a (design) bug, allow me to explain why.
in case you want to exclude an option (eg. only one file format will be written either BMP OR PNG OR GIF)
you selected a radio button by design to assure that only one option is available (ok) but in "Saving method" this is not the case.
users can choose between 3 options where one has to be selected, but because all 3 could be selected at the same time no single checkbox should be deselected automatically simply by selectiong another optional checkbox.
-> by design it is incorrect to uncheck "Store in clipboard" when activating "Open in image editor" because checking both is valid and maybe requested by a user.
checking "open in image editor" unchecks "Store in clipboard" and "Save as file" which is incorrect and maybe not expected because all checkboxes are optional (while at least one has to be checked) and valid selections:
therefore imho you should use 2 radio buttons and 1 check box instead:
radio button for "Open in image editor" and "Save as file" and a checkbox for "Store in clipboard".
additionally "Create subfolder for current date" should be grayed out until "Save as file" radio button is active.
update: just realized with my suggestion above it would not longer be possible to save to clipboard only,
so maybe you should stop clearing checkboxes when selecting other checkboxes in order to fix this instead.

Re: 600 - Snapshot dialog box bug
I guess I found another bug. on my system when "Store in clipbard" & "Open in image editor" is checked
MSpaint does not pop up, only if "Store in clipboard" is unchecked.
