Drag a screenshot from the notch into a chat or email
To send a screenshot from the NotchStar tray, press on its thumbnail and drag it into the message box of a chat app, or into an email you are writing, then let go. The app receives the image file. The screenshot then leaves the tray, because you used it.
Steps
- Take a screenshot. Its thumbnail appears under the notch.
- Open the chat or the email draft in another window.
- Press on the thumbnail and move the mouse. After about four points of movement the press becomes a drag. A smaller wobble counts as a click, which opens the screenshot instead.
- Drop it on the message field or the email body.
Dragging a thumbnail does not open the notch, and hovering over it does not either.
What the app gets
Chat and mail apps receive a copy of the file. The original stays in your screenshot folder, so you can send it again later. Whether the picture appears inline or as an attachment depends on the receiving app, not on NotchStar.
If the drop does not work
- Let go over a place that accepts files. If nothing accepts it, the thumbnail flies back to the tray and stays there.
- A few web apps only accept a drop on one box, such as a file area. Try dropping on that box.
More than one
You can send several at the same time. Read send several screenshots at once. You can also copy a screenshot and paste it, from its right click menu. The overview is on the Screenshot Tray page.
