Hello

I've recently upgraded from RHL 7.3 to Fedora, and hence from Gimp version 1.2.3 to version 2.2.10 One thing that has puzzled us is that when doing a 'grab' of a single window (via File->Aquire->Screenshot), there is no longer the option of grabbing a window without decorations (i.e. without its title bar, control buttons etc.). Other than selecting, copying and pasting from the grabbed window in Gimp to exclude the decorations (which is not always accurate and users are complaining) is there a way of getting the 'Without Decorations' button to show as in version 1.2.3 on the Screenshot command?

Many thanks Roy

Similar complaint here. No matter how I try to shot just selected area I can't. When cursor turns into crosshair I can't select just desired area of window, but the whole window or screen.

this has been fixed in gimp-2.3 and (to me) the screenshot getter makes much more sense now than in either gimp-1.2 or gimp-2.2.

that being said, i have not yet tried to select an area on the desktop. to me, you can select the area on the desktop, or you can use the superior tools and select the same stuff from the image.
