Build 21277 is out as an Optional Update

Maybe, Microsoft, you could Paste the file with the Screenshot automatically.

Microsoft couldn't do that because they don't 

know where you want to paste it.

You could want it in an e mail, the forum,, etc.

" directly into a folder of your choice in File Explorer " => 'directly' suggests something automated ... (maybe after setting up a default folder)

@Wolfboy, 

That functionality already exists with WIN + PrtScn which saves the screen shot automatically in the folder Pictures\Screenshots of the user.

This one is just a new added capability giving the choice to save the selected snip & sketch image directly in a folder of your choice. Before this change you had to use the "save as" function and then select the folder where you wanted to save it, not much difference just a couple of steps shorter now after this new change. 😉

Before this change you could already paste it in a email or an open document, so it is not really a big deal  😎.

Too bad it cannot be pasted directly into these posts or any forum posts ..😜.

Hi,

What the others have already said is spot-on.  I just thought would add a couple of things...

>> Yes there is Win+Shift+S or use PrtScn, instead; the later saves pinning Snip & Sketch or opening it, 1st.

NB: S&S has 4 Modes: Rectangle, Free-form, Window & Full screen.

>> After something is copied it can then be 'dropped' wherever via Rt Clk & Paste OR Ctrl+V

>> ALSO, items copied auto save to Clipboard. So, Win+V opens that... one can click on (select) any item there & then 'drop' it wherever.

The above is applicable throughout the OS.  And now there is similar within Edge.  It is called Web Capture.  And that can be enabled either via its icon OR via Ctrl+Shift+S.  This is being called Smart Copy. But, the cool new part is being able to drop things into Folders... couldn't do that in the past.

Anyway, it's all the same, grab what one wants, it copies & then can be 'dropped' or pasted into the body of any kind of page OR into a Folder.

Cheers,

Drew
