One of the most effective ways to help software publishers to fix problems is
to take a screenshot of what went wrong.
Bug Shooting has been written specifically for this task but is also very
useful when taking screenshots for other reasons.
Installation is simple and adds an icon of a ladybird in the Notification
Area. This gives access to the different functions of the program.
Bug Shooting can capture the entire screen as three different images. There
is an image for each of the monitors connected to the computer and one for the
active window at the time of the screen shoot.
It is also possible to capture a specific area of the screen. There are
guidelines and information about the position of the cursor, so it is possible
to be very accurate. The capture can also be delayed, which is useful for
capturing menus that disappear if the mouse is moved.
Once a screen capture has been made it is opened in the Bug Shooting editing
window. This has some basic editing tools, including boxes and arrows for
drawing attention to areas of the image.
Also added is a screen magnifier. This can be useful for checking the exact
location of images on screen.
