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 ..😜.

I'll suggest the gain over the past is in regard to other than, actual, screen shots specifically or exclusively. Yes, they will auto save to the Screen shots folder. But, where things like Snip & Sketch, Web capture & "Smart copy" change the scenario is being able to select a particular bit from wherever... and offering 4 Modes for this: Rectangle, Free-form, Window & Full screen.  Caveat is these 'tools' take the functionality & abilities much, much further than Screen shots.

Yes, the 'new' bit just streamlines/simplifies part of the process, so in a way not a big deal, but that's because S&S, Web capture and Smart copy already exist.  So just a nice addition to what we already had or have.

And I may be repeating myself (oops, sorry), but fits the moment... This so-called (new) "Smart copy"... this (Ctrl+Shift+S) can be used on any web page, even right here. It turns the cursor into a + sign ready to grab whatever image & or text you want, and then can do what you please with the piece you took; including drop it in a folder 😉😊.  Handy, slick & simple easy. 👍👍

Cheers,

Drew

Rather than using (Ctrl+Shift+S) it is easier to use the icon (Web capture) in the MS Edge tool bar  😊

I agree.  It's actually hard to grasp the hype they have given the so-called "Smart copy" thing.  When it's really just the K/B 'shortcut' for Web capture.  Seems like just another instance of more than 1 way to do something in Windows... and one uses what feels most appealing to them or 'right' in that moment.

Suppose could use Ctrl+Shift+S if you were someone who did not want the Web capture icon on their toolbar.

Same as Win+Shift+S (also) fires Snip & Sketch.

Drew

Perfect, @fg2001 . But I (or maybe more users) would like Paste automatically in File the cropped area of screen and not only the full screen.
