History 101: Managing Your Stuff
Posted on Tuesday July 24, 2007 by Matt Dyer
Anytime you Share, Embed, Save or Copy with Jing, a copy of your capture is stored in your History. From the History, captures can be shared, opened, or deleted.
- If you share an item already on Screencast.com or some other destination from your History, you aren't using up more storage space. Jing checks and if the file is already uploaded, it gets the URL and copies it to your Clipboard.
- You can also get the Embed code from your History, so if you decide to embed your capture at a later time, it's easy!
- Double-click an item to open and edit (for images) or preview (for video). You can add new annotations to an image, or send it to a different destination, but doing so creates a new entry in your History.
- If you're not connected to the Internet or Jing can't upload to Screencast.com, your capture is sent to the History.

"If you’re upset about the system requirements... it's my fault.”
OK... I'm more than upset. TechSmith has a well earned reputation for quality. Microsoft has an equally well earned reputation for bloated code that's prone to crash. The decision to base Jing on .Net availability means the end user must swallow a poison pill for a taste of sugar. Not smart.
When you've received sufficient outrage for using current TechSmith customers as beta testers for a product dependent on the stability (or NOT) of Microsoft, perhaps you will learn that the permanent cost of your free program was TechSmith prestige.

Hello. Question about Jing's "history" feature.
I've been using Jing for a few days now without any trouble. Today, I shared a screenshot, and messed up at the last second by hitting 'copy' instead of 'paste', thus eliminating the URL from my clipboard. No big deal, right? I went to my Jing history to get the URL. But my Jing history was blank. It wasn't blank last time I looked at it! And now it's not just missing today's stuff, but missing everything I've ever done with Jing. What happened? I was unable to find a support ticket on this issue but if one exists, please let me know.
Problem exists between user and keyboard, yes?

NOT ABLE TO SHARE FILE. I get a "Jing Warning" that says, "There was a problem connecting to the Web. Your capture was not shared but is in your History."
What does this mean? Why?
I only want to share. I don't care that it's in my history. I don't want to send a SWF file. Are there alternatives?

Like the above (sept 25, 2007) comment writer, i can't see a way to share or upload a file. I don't get a failure to connect error, i just don't get anything. The swf file is in history, but what good is it? I can't do anything with it as far as I can tell.

I saved some video 2 days ago, they show up in history, but I am unable to play them now. I opened them last time with MS video player and Internet Explorer, now I can't. I tried unzipping with Zipeg, but that doesn't support swf format.
All it shows is the blank box with the icon that means you can't see the picture. I have Active X.
What can I do?
