    Description

      Corporate users adoption of the Wiki is slowed due to the complexity of importing graphics into their new page content. It is difficult to pull them away from Microsoft Word when they can just cut and paste graphics. Explaining the finer points of creating a .gif or .jpg puts some people off.

      I would love to see a screen capture tool added to the 'image properties' form. In addition to the "Browse" and "Attach" button, there could be a "Capture" button. An example of functionality would be as follows...
      1. User clicks the "Insert/Edit Image" button from the Page Edit view.
      2. From the "Image Properties" form they click a "Capture" button.
      3. A pop-up form informs them that after they click OK, they should find get the image they want on their screen, Press F11 (which produces a cross-hair mouse display), and then click the two oppsing corners of the image they wish to import.
      4. On the 2nd mouse click (corner), they are returned to "Image Properties" form, where they can specify the filename they want and the file type (.jpg or .gif).
      5. Confluence does the file conversion and saves the image.
      6. Now the user can attach the image.
