Quickshot can't resume 01-* (install) series

[Xuacu Saturio]

The first time I used Quickshot, I've made part of the 01-* series of screenshots. But I didn't want to perform the actual install, so I aborted the session.

Now, there is not an easy way to resume 01-* series where I stopped (no problem for the remaining screenshots).

I know it's easy to ask to delete the already taken screenshots (actually, I'll do that when the translation is done) But such thing may be time consuming if and when more translators are using Quickshot.

I can think of two possible workarounds:
-- allow "fake uploads" of already taken screenshots until 01-* series is complete or
-- allow to perform the install process from within Quickshot without taking screenshots until arriving at the missing ones (i.e. Quickshot always starts an install when asked to take a 01-* screenshot).

Kind regards

Hi, Xuacu.

We're aware of this issue, but there's a conflict between the way Quickshot works and the way independent programs work: we can't jump to an arbitrary point in their execution, even though we'd really love to be able to do so.

The workaround, which will be better-documented when we write the ruleset for 10.10, is to either launch 'ubiquity' manually or start taking the first screenshot (which launches ubiquity), then back out and go for the one you want. Of course, the latter course only works if the screenshots haven't been approved yet (another thing that'll be more logical in the next version).

Thank you for filing a report, though. This will help to ensure it's something we test for usability's sake.
