Windows expert to Redmond: Buh-bye

Someone, anyone, make a better screenshot utility for the Mac. Let me suggest 10 features that I expect to find in a more advanced screenshot utility:

1. Image conversion among all major image formats and the capability to select a new default file format from among those image types.

2. A facility that lets you control default options for some file formats, like number of colors and quality/compression levels (as with JPEGs, for example).

3. Automatic, sequentially numbered file naming with user-specifiable root names (such as, "OSXLeop_###") and folder-save-to locations. It should also let the user specify the starting number of the file-naming sequence.

4. A capability that lets you optionally hide all but the Apple default desktop icons and other user customizations.
