Nice idea. I can't think of a use now, but I may think of some in the future, so I will watch the thread.

@AtlBo It's a great tool for demonstrating a How-To or Guide-To, especially on Forum boards, Websites and more - without spending $$$ on premium software.

It's outputted GIF quality is superb, yet minimal file size.

Thanks. Yes, I can see that this tool would be very useful for this. I will take a look when I next think of a project. I have some things in mind, but I like to think them through before I commit to anything to avoid a big jumbled mess.

EDIT to add. I think this would excellent for creating instructionals to place in PowerPoint. Really looks very useful in the help wiki.

EDIT: Apologies. I see you have frame editing. I didn't finish the Help and had only looked at the GUI. Awesome work.
