Delay before selecting gives you more control over precisely what is captured, since it happens at the moment you click, where the state of the window might change in some cases when using delay after selecting. Also, what if the window in question cannot be put into the proper state until after the delay starts? A full screen app/game that cannot be (de)focused, for instance. I have, on rare occasions, encountered this need, where I have to apply a delay before selecting and use that delay to actually start the program to be the target of the screenshot. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
