You say share as needed, but I’ve not found a great way to just grab it to the clipboard or get the file handle from there.
My go to workaround is to screenshot, annotate, screenshot the annotation tool into clipboard and paste that. (I know)
- gorgoiler 4y agoYou are in good company. I often screenshot two things, arrange the windows next to or on top of each other, screenshot that and use it as the backdrop for my world domination plans / next releng planning meeting.
- reaperducer 4y agoThe two ways I do it are: 1. If the program I'm trying to share with is available in the Share control, I use that. 2. Since I already have a Screenshots folder in my dock that displays as a fan, and is sorted by most recently added, I click "done" on the annotated screenshot, then I can click on that folder in the dock, and it's right there, ready to be dragged into any other application.
- aidos 4y agoThis is a reasonable way of dealing with it. I've just created the dock folder and now it's a lot easier to get to (except that I have dock as minimal as possible, so it's still a little fiddly). It does feel like just hitting ctrl-c in annotations should copy to clipboard. I know pretty much every other combination of screenshot shortcut mentioned here, but this workflow has irked me ever since they added the annotation tools. I can work with this, thanks!
- cassianoleal 4y ago⌘c after annotating in the way GP mentioned copies the annotated screenshot to the clipboard, you don't need to screenshot the tool.
- aidos 4y agoI couldn’t get that to work. So annotate, and with Lou t doing anything else, just cmd-c?
- cassianoleal 4y agoPretty much, yeah. Oh, you might need to deselect any annotations you have added (click on background) before pressing ⌘c.
