How do I enable the SnagIt Editor window to automatically open after a capture. Clicking the Open Editor button in the lower right corner after each capture is getting old. I know older SnagIt versions did this, but SnagIt 2018 for Windows seems to have lost this feature. Please tell me this didn't go away!

I have tried setting All-in-One to Preview.. I've also tried deselecting preview. No matter what I do, once I capture an image using my preferred hotkey (Alt + 1), the capture just sits there until I click the Camera icon. There has to be another setting I'm missing to get the capture to auto-open in the editor?

@Annik, from the Screenshot that Joe included above, make sure you also have "Image" selected on the left side, instead of "All-in-one". If you leave it on "all-in-one" it will bring up the menu that asks what type of capture you want to do after dragging the region. If you switch it to "image" though, it should go straight to the editor after dragging the region. Hope that helps!

Thanks, Joe! Sometimes the solutions are right in front of your face. :)
I recently had my system re-imaged and had SnagIt 2018 installed and was looking in Preferences. Argh. Thanks again!

If computer misbehaves:

1. Start pressing keys randomly, rapidly and in increasingly complex combinations in the vain hope that chaotic inputs may correct the previous wrong input.
2. Ignore / shut down all error message boxes without taking a note of what they say
3. Even if you understood the message don't carry out the suggested action because it's just stupid
4. Slam the lid closed
5. Erase all memories of what you were trying to do when the error occurred
6. Use standard error report "It's not working"

I think many of these are known as the following errors.

I D Ten T errors (ID10T)
PICNIC errors (Problem In Chair Not In Computer)
PEBKAC errors (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair)

I found this post while looking for how to turn that feature "off". It's a real nuisance if you need to do many screen captures in a row.

The setting confused me because it doesn't seem like a "preview" in the editor. After you capture, the image opens in the editor -- nothing "preview" about it. But I can see where "open capture in editor" is sort of clumsy label.

I turned it off, can now capture as many images as I want without the editor interrupting, so all is good.
