screenshot preview

Hey,

I just wanted to complain about the screenshot preview. I use the screenshot option constantly for work (won't elaborate) but since recent updates (I am now using Mojave), there is a preview of the screenshot. I have to wait until it disappears to take a new screenshot. It is very frustrating and for those who need to work fast, waiting some seconds for each screenshot is too long.

After some research I found out that there is no way to change settings and have no preview.

Actually, it turns out you can control this.

This should totally resolve your issue:

Press Command-Shift-5 and in the screen capture window that appears look below it and there is an "Options" button where you can disable the "Show Floating Thumbnail" option.

You can now take rapid-fire screenshots without worrying about the thumbnail interfering with your next screenshot.
