History 201: Jing 1.3 to Present.
Posted on Tuesday October 23, 2007 by Matt Dyer
You probably noticed some changes in your History window with the 1.3 update; here's a rundown of the new features:
- Name and Size: Below each History item, name and size are displayed. Entering a name is optional at the time of capture; the default value of the name field is the date. If you never enter names for your captures, it may look like Jing is displaying the date and size (which can be handy too). http://screencast.com/t/aFDTUmYIm
- Mouse-over: Hold your mouse cursor over an item in your History for more information. A larger version of the thumbnail will display along with: Name, Kind (image or video), Size, Date, Dimensions, and Shared (where it was uploaded). http://screencast.com/t/tJyqDAo6nJj
- Sorting: In the upper left corner of the History window are two sorting options, Date and Size. Click either one to sort your History, with the most recent or largest at the top. http://screencast.com/t/Pymy3a1Yrfk
- Filter: In the upper right corner, select whether to view Images, Video, or Both in your History window. http://screencast.com/t/Cl3esON5SS

Thank you for making Jing even more useful. I use it on a daily basis to help my clients. What used to take me hours each week, now takes just minutes with Jing.
One thing that would make it even more awesome is the ability to search or a simple tagging system.

Is it possible to change where the Jing video is sent? For instance, I created a video and sent it to Screencast and now would like to FTP the video to someone else.

Dawn--To send an item in your History to another location, double-click to open it. Select a new share location and click Share to send it to your newly selected location (in your case that would be FTP). A new item will appear in your History when this happens.

I've gotten a new computer and now can't access any of the history that I had on the previous computer. I've logged on with the same credentials. Is all lost?

Dawn--Jing's History doesn't synchronize with upload destinations, so unfortunately your data from past shares doesn't show up when you change machines.
You can transfer your old History information from one machine to another though. On an XP machine, copy the directory C:\Documents and Settings\(yourUserName)\Local Settings\Application Data\TechSmith\Jing\DataStore from your old machine and then put the contents of that directory in the DataStore folder on your new machine. Your old captures should show up in your new History.

How do I know the ScreenCast.com URL of my older videos? Jing does not show them anywhere.
