SnagIt + VSTS = Integration Love

  • Article

TechSmith created a plugin for SnagIt that lets you take a screen capture and real quick create a new work item or update a work item with the image attached, cool.  They did some nice stuff around it too, check it out...

The Team System menu lets you create a new work item, or put the image on an exiting work item.

The "Update Existing Item" dialog has a "Work item search", which is way cool!  It searched the work items real fast.  Thank goodness, it can be a pain to remember ID numbers.  Smart

 

The "New Work Item" dialog has a "Do not display this dialog again", wish all dialogs had that option.

I learned that you must be running SnagIt v8.3 to enable these Output plugins.  I was running v8.2 and needed to upgrade.  Brian Harry posted about it too.  BTW, their new ScreenCast.com site is cool, wish they had a community account, something cheep I could afford (~$30/yr).  I heard TechSmith uses Team System internally, rock on.
