Support "Capture Region" on Tray icon left click

[gustavotrott]

In %APPDATA%\Greenshot\Greenshot.ini there is the option LeftClickAction
And I see that the options are:

    public enum ClickActions {
        DO_NOTHING,
        OPEN_LAST_IN_EXPLORER,
        OPEN_LAST_IN_EDITOR,
        OPEN_SETTINGS,
        SHOW_CONTEXT_MENU
    }

It would be great if we have the option CAPTURE_REGION.
This is the option that I use more often and would be very practical to capture region without need to open Context Menu first or use the keyboard.

Thank you!

I've added the following, over the usefulness we can discuss:

        CAPTURE_REGION
        CAPTURE_SCREEN
        CAPTURE_CLIPBOARD
        CAPTURE_WINDOW
        OPEN_EMPTY_EDITOR

So, these can ONLY be added by using an editor with the greenshot.ini, the OPEN_EMPTY_EDITOR is a request that I've got, but doesn't make a lot of sense yet... you can't change the background in the editor, so it's very limited.

I'll inform you of the build where this can be tested.

Available in 1.3.201 or later which can be found here https://github.com/greenshot/greenshot/releases

Awesome! I just downloaded the last version and seems to be working great!
Thank you @Lakritzator!

Maybe you should consider include this option in the interface.
For me it is not necessary, but it is a very useful option that most of the users will never know the existence.

[Lakritzator]

It's currently EXTREMELY hard to get something into the interface.
This has to do with our limited translation process, and also the little real-estate (place) the UI offers.
We do not like to complicate things right now, so we decided to not extend the UI in 1.3
For 2.0 we made a new UI, but the 2.0 branch is state due to other issues with .NET, so we will need to revise.

Long story short: Currently not adding this to the UI

[Lakritzator]

Closing this issue, it's in the 1.3 code base and we will see how we go forward with the UI another time.

Totally wanting this too but I didn't get it working. I opened this file %APPDATA%\Greenshot\Greenshot.ini

Found the LeftClickAction=SHOW_CONTEXT_MENU and updated it to LeftClickAction=CAPTURE_REGION

Then I saved it, re-opened the app and it doesn't work. Anything else I'm supposed to do?
