I would really have to disagree with not displaying *where* I'm saving
the screen-shot (as shown in
http://log.emmanuelebassi.net/images/shots/screenshot-collapsed.png).
How many times in other systems have you hit save, and then have no idea
where it saved to.  Do you really remember where the last place you
saved to was?  Is there ever a case where you won't look where it's
saving to before hitting 'save'?


Thanks,

Scott.
