Screen Capture Is A Wonderful Tool

Screen Capture Is A Wonderful Tool. However, sometimes I can’t move my fingers fast enough to prepare a popup window in 5 seconds. Suggest increasing the time, from 5 to say, 7 seconds.

Better still would be a user-settable parameter in the Screenshot dialog for the pause length.

It’s also a “wonderful tool” with a rubbish interface and a poor “user experience” - see:

I normally use Gimp, but testing with Audacity 2.4.2 on Linux, I don’t seem to be able to create a screenshot of only the topmost window (even if I’m quick enough). For example, I can’t get a screenshot of the “Amplify” dialog or “Plot Spectrum”.

Same on Audacity 3.0.0 alpha.

On W10 this is s regression on 2.1.3
