I've just tried it again and it's not as bad as it was. |

That's an option in Spectacle now. |

My workflow when writing tutorials is similar, except I use PNG files. |

It remembers the last save location now. No idea about the format as I |
| 28 |
only use PNG, but at worst it means changing the extension to jpg (or |
| 29 |
batch convert all the screenshots later with convert). |

The name problem is still there. While it will remember the directory, |
| 32 |
the name is in the preconfigured format, which has options to use date and |
| 33 |
time stamping, but not incremental numbering. Rather than use unsupported |
| 34 |
software, I'll probably just use a one line script to rename the files |
| 35 |
afterwards, at least with date stamping they will be in the right order. |

The location problem is gone now, only the naming remains as a retrograde |
| 43 |
step for me. Plus whatever it is that I remember just after hitting Send. |
