I’ve received a few comments and e-mails from people that dislike having Imageshack set as the default destination. The next version will not upload to Imageshack by default, instead it will either use the “File” option or “FTP” which will pop up a menu to set your FTP settings or optionally use “File” or “Imageshack” instead.

So for those of you that have not yet downloaded v1.3.3.0 (beta) it does indeed use Imageshack by default at the moment, but rest assured that it will be changed. If you want to change away from using Imageshack, you can do so by going to the “Main” tab and changing the Screenshot Destination to something else (File, FTP, Clipboard). Also you can change the destination by using the right click menu of the tray icon (”Send Image To”).

The reasoning behind setting the default to Imageshack was to beta test HTTP uploading.

ZScreen 1.3.3.0 Beta (English Only) is now available.

Now let’s talk about some of the changes that have been made.

Notice anything different? You may have noticed that “ImageShack” support was added. For people without their own servers this might prove to be really helpful. There are future plans to add other HTTP services on as well.

Hotkeys can now be configured in 1/2/3-key combinations. The defaults utilize the print screen key.

But if you wish you can still change the hotkeys to anything you like. Like so.

Documentation and full translations for this version are not yet available, but with any luck they will be available soon. Unfortunately many feature requests were not able to be implemented yet, but we are still working hard to implement them… namely multiple monitor support.

Sadly, all previously saved settings will not be restored in this version. It was a tough decision, but we decided we needed to start fresh. The good news is that we have added in some import/export functionality so that this will not happen again. With all of that said, here are the links to download it:
