No temporary files manual method: hold down the Contol key while taking the screenshot and it goes to the clipboard. Preview has a "New from Clipboard" command, then resize, then you can copy and paste from Preview to final destination (usually email in my case). I do this rarely enough that I haven't bothered trying to automate it. > BTW, I'm not sure what your reasoning is behind pasting graphics into > Word documents; but you should know you may very well be making life > harder than need be for whoever you happen to be sending these Word > files to.

And the Preview "New from Clipboard" command is the default "New Document" command; so Control-Command-Shift-4, launch Preview, Command-N does the trick. I've used that as well off an on through the years, but it didn't occur to me when I initially answered. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.

I typically (almost always) Shift-CMD-4 and it's popped into downloads, and that's it. Good enough. So I never improved on the matter. I like what you suggest even more (occasionally screenshot stuff to message off to someone). I thank Ant for bringing this up - never know what we'll learn from it! Now, can I tell you about running with swap disabled .... <runs>

Not that I know of, but it would be nifty if there was an option for Screen Capture to open the image in Preview before writing the file. That would satisfy your need above. (But being good Unix programmers, Apple engineers would probably write the temp copy to disk before invoking Preview - so would come to the same thing...) As to managing screenshots written to disk, I typically write them to the download folder and then use them (and edit them from there). I cleanup the download folder regularly so that's a good place to keep them. (The default is the desktop but that's easily changed).

Mine are mainly for including in docs or sending to others via e-mail or message. A lot of the later of late. And now I often dump screen shots into Notes as well.

It's a good strategy if you ever need to share screen shots. It's not like anyone can look at all of them just because they are on Dropbox. -- "He has Van Gogh's ear for music." - Billy Wilder
