Open Captures Tray

Learn about the features and options found in Editor's Open Captures Tray.

The Open Captures Tray contains recently taken captures and media files opened via the SnagIt Button > Open or Library.

The following is a general overview of how the Tray works.

Open Captures Tray overview

	The Open Captures Tray contains recently taken captures and media files opened via the SnagIt Button > Open option or through the Library. When capturing, the Tray automatically stores the captures for you. You do not need to save each time you take a capture.
	When you modify a saved image or text file an orange starburst appears on the thumbnail. When you save the file, the starburst disappears.
	Hover over a thumbnail to see an enlarged view. The enlarged view displays the dimensions of the file and the file name if saved.
	Click the Quick View button to see a snapshot of all the media content in the Tray. Use the scroll bar to move up and down through the Quick View. Click on a thumbnail to view one of the media files.
	Drag the upper left corner of the Quick View box to make it smaller or larger.
	Where did my captures go? This message appears in the Quick View box when a capture drops from the Tray view. The Tray only stores a certain number of media files before they drop out of view. However, these captures are not deleted. To view unsaved captures and saved files, click Search Pane > Tags tab > Recent captures. The media files appear in the Library as you move through the search results.
	Right-click a thumbnail to access the context menu. Copy the contents to the Clipboard. Close the file and remove it from the Tray. You can reopen the file at a later time. Delete permanently deletes a saved file or a stored capture. You cannot reopen deleted files at a later time. Thumbnail Size changes the thumbnails to Small, Medium, or Large size. Properties opens the Details page that contains information automatically gathered during capture. This is called metadata. For captures from the Web, an active link to that Web page displays.
