Description

Hey Morten,

Thanks for an awesome tool! Here’s my experience with Demo Mode:

  1. Turn on preference to enter demo mode before taking screenshots.
  2. Press button to take a screenshot.
  3. Wait 5 seconds for Demo Mode to take effect.
  4. Notice that the screen is no longer showing what you wanted to screenshot.

And then:

  1. Wait for Demo Mode to be toggled off again.
  2. Try to take another screenshot, and note that it again takes 5 seconds to enter Demo Mode.

Instead, a better workflow would be to enable Demo Mode once, and stay in Demo Mode until the user explicitly turns it off.

This way, all screenshots will be (relatively) instant, with no need to toggle it on/off between successive screenshots.

(I’m not a Mac programmer, else I’d have looked into implementing this myself, but if I ever do get into it, I’ll send a PR your way. Until then, here’s an Issue if someone wants to pick up and run with it.)

Thanks!

Research direction
Investigate the current implementation of Demo Mode in the source code. The toggle is likely in a settings view or preferences. The goal is to change the behavior so that once enabled, Demo Mode remains active until the user explicitly disables it, rather than automatically turning off after each screenshot. Look for where the demo mode state is stored and how it is reset.
