question: how to easily attach screenshots

hello all

i'm in search for an easy solution to attach screenshots to a report.
the best + easiest way would it be to take a screenshot by pressing "print" and paste it by pressing "ctrl+v" to the report. (we're using lotus notes, so the users are accustomed to this method).

is this also possible in mantis??

i have seen that screenshots are embedded in the forum and not simply attached only. how can i realize this in the bugtracker??

thanks for your help in advanced.

I assume that you are referring to the auto-preview of attachments feature, similar to the following issue:
http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=7574

This feature can be enabled by setting the max size for images that you want to auto-preview. For example, for 100K use the following:
$g_preview_attachments_inline_max_size = 100 * 1024;

If you want to simplify the process of taking screen captures and attaching them to an issue, you can consider using the following tool:

that's exactly what i'm looking for.

i hope that in one of the next releases the screenshot feature will be implented. the solution with cropper is ok, but i have to "install" it on every client and that isn't possible.

thanks a lot!!
