One feature that forces me to keep using the Preview 10 version is easy saving with ctrl+s
Would it be possible to set the save settings once and after that the editor just add a number to the end of the file name and save the file whenever we press ctrl+s?

How about adding a new shortcut? Like Ctrl+Shift+S ?

a new shortcut would do the job, though, it would be better if ctrl+s saves fast and ctrl+shift+s brings up the settings.
the faster shortcut for the functionality that is used most often.

How about setting up output folders in advance and setting default save formats for several formats respectively? How about adding optional automatic save function? It feels good to use auto-save on “capture :https://mathewsachin.github.io/Captura/”.

As a workaround, there are a number of programs that will monitor a given folder and then copy whatever changes with a version number to a destination folder. So if you save c:\temp\file.gif, the versioning program could generate c:\temp\backup\file1.gif. The next time you saved, it would create c:\temp\backup\file2.gif and so on.

I use AutoVer for this purpose but DSynchronize and many other tools that do live, versioned backups would also work.

The suggestion is for skipping the save dialogue, naming wouldn't be an issue.
I'm sure the program can check for the files with the same name and change it if necessary.

+1 on this rec.

This is the first thing I tried after finding this gem of a gif machine.

A Ctrl + S would be great to over-write and a Ctrl + Shift + S to save as.

Thanks for a wonderful app.

@NickeManarin Hi! Do you have any plans to add this functionality? Also I'd rather just "record and save as YYYY-MM-DD_HH:MM:SS.gif"
