With comments etc.

Seems to be broken currently.

The current one is buggy. We should rewrite everything (in C#).

We should be more aligned with ShareX' definitions of custom uploaders to make migrations easier.
See: https://getsharex.com/docs/custom-uploader

They have an optional updateUrl. We should use that and ocasionally check if there is an update.

There should be a hotkey to upload the clipboard contents.

So every command can run in his own settings context.

tldr:
We want to make this possible:

"capture.actionAfterCapture": "openEditor",
"key.bindings": [
    {
      "enabled": true,
      "command": {
        "name": "captureArea",
        "overrides": {
            // Set this setting for this hotkey only
            "capture.actionAfterCapture": "copyImage",
        }
      },
      "keys": "F8"
    },
]

Can you please made a setting for the background transparency when you make a screenshot with the area selector? I would love to deactivate the feature or made it more transparency or more brighter, because I can't see anything anymore on my display when it is active, it's hard to make the screenshot without seen anything...

The snipping tool from MS doesn't have that.

And I didn't see any different between style 1, style 2 and style 3? What did the change?

.NET Core 3.0 will be releasing with Windows Forms support.

Time has come.

In .NET Core, we have System.Text.Json.

Blocked by #14

The CI should also build the docs using docfx. After that, the site should be published on gh-pages.

We probably want to use some JSON format with comments. And Build a GUI on top of it, see #21.
Also, this should reduce the amount of VB code.

If we upgrade our project format, we may be able to use this tool instead of the custom solution involving "NextVersion.txt":

This blocks #14.

The UI is inconsistent in various places (position of controls, types of controls etc.). This sould be fixed.

See:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/12744476

HolzShots crashes if a user tries to save to a location which hasn't got a sufficient amount of disk space left.

It's 2020, people use Markdown now.

Shell Extension to upload or edit stuff

We should evaluate if this feature is actually used. If not, it can be removed.

Also, we should check if it must reside in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Maybe it can also be a user-setting that doesn't need administrator privileges.

Originally posted by @nikeee in #32 (comment)

VS2017 comes with native EditorConfig support. The config should be extended to include C# style guidelines. Evaluate this: https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/blob/master/.editorconfig

#14 depends on that.
Ref:
http://hermit.no/moving-to-sdk-style-projects-and-package-references-in-visual-studio-part-2/

It's old and should be rewritten from scratch in C#.

Follow-Up of #36. Shell extensions (right click context menu entries) were removed in the settings refactoring.

If enough people want them back, we'd consider adding it back (feel free to post here).

We have to use a different approach then because we have a file-based coinfiguration and need admin privilege to set these keys.

When saving an image, sometimes this error occurs:

[Window Title]
Fehler :(

[Main Instruction]
Es trat ein Fehler beim Speichern des Bildes auf.

[Content]
Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: format

[OK]

Ref: http://hermit.no/github-actions-including-how-to-build-net-framework-projects/

We can now compile the application on GitHub Actions.

Things to do

• Compile .NET Framework Project in Release mode
• DocFX Project
• Runing Tests
• Artifact Collection
• Release creation
• Chocolatey Packaging
• Chocolatey Deployment

It's defunct.

Some menus are pretty small etc.

Clicking on the drop down icon reveals the list of hosters, but clicking on them does nothing.
This is most likely a bug due to heavy refactoring.

Follow-Up to #24

See title

This might just be a UI bug.

This looks ugly:

    Friend Const AreaSelectorParameter As String = "-selector" ' TODO: Refactor command line
    Friend Const FullscreenScreenshotParameter As String = "-fullscreen" ' TODO: Refactor command line

    Friend Const OpenParameter As String = "-open" ' TODO: Refactor command line
    Friend Const UploadParameter As String = "-upload" ' TODO: Refactor command line

    Friend Const OpenFromShellParameter As String = "-open_shell" ' TODO: Refactor command line
    Friend Const UploadFromShellParameter As String = "-upload_shell" ' TODO: Refactor command line

(we should use double-dashes: --).

Caution: This is a breaking change.

In certain cases, the magnifier which can be used in the area selector shows up on the wrong screen.

The plugins page doesn't offer that much.

It would be awesome to have a hotkey to make a screenshot and place it in clipboard directly instead of uploading it.

A potential use-case is making a screenshot and directly paste it into the WhatsApp Web application to send it as an image, not a link.

We now don't have a GUI to configure hotkeys anymore. We need to document how to use this somewhere.

Currently, HolzShots is entirely in German. It should be translated to be English by default.
Supporting multiple languages may be unnecessary.

The shadow does not fit into the screenshot. In Windows 8 it did.

Maybe we want to add HolzShots to the winget community repository:
https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli

Maybe provide an option to ask the user before every screenshot save. The user can then override this on a command-basis.

Follow-Up to #24

Currently, we offer a plain zip file.

We might want to offer an MSIX installer in the future, because it is better (TM):
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/overview

Registry access is virtualized in MSIX, so we cannot register a startup task in the registry anymore. We should consider this:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/desktop/modernize/desktop-to-uwp-extensions#executable

Things that might block this:

• RegisterHotkey
• CopyFromScreen
• Shell Extension to upload or edit stuff

See comments in #15.
TODO:

• Jumplists (is this possible?)
• FolderBrowserDialog, Browser dialogs: dotnet/winforms#57
• TaskDialog dotnet/winforms#146

Also, see: dotnet/winforms#181

HolzShots needs a new icon.
