[Question] Saving to another format

Open RaiGal opened this issue 13 years ago • 6 comments

Hello, I have been using LookIt for some time now and I think it's a great app. However, I feel there's one thing still missing, that is the ability to save the images in other formats besides .png. For my part, I would love to save my screenshots in a .jpeg format and I was wondering if and how I could do that, or if that's not viable if there is going to be such a feature implemented in the future.

Thank you for your effort !

png is generally used for screenshots, is there any particular reason you want them in jpg?

Smaller file size without much quality loss.

Is the difference that large? Not being difficult, but I'm trying to avoid feature-creep

I have to admit you are right, the difference is barely noticable. I guess it's just that .jpeg has a more familiar feel to it. Well, that's entirely up to you, as for me I'm more than happy with LookIt the way it is.

Still, I can't express how nice it is to see a developer refraining from over-bloating his programs, unlike most applications today.

Keep it sleek and simple, much love and respect zachtib, thanks!

Another thing that came to mind is that, even though I have set no time delay, the app usually takes 1-3 seconds to take a snapshot from the moment I tap the PrtScn button, is that behaviour the normal one?
