Jing for Windows - Version 1.4 Update 2
Hiya.
This release maintains support for Screencast.com's upcoming changes
AND
should improve the response of the selection UI.
Enjoy.
You can download the current version here.
Aside: I really gotta start blogging more...I actually forgot my username and password.

'ESC' should cancel the selection on Windows too.
It usually works on my machine, but once in a while it doesn't work. We didn't try to fix that bug in this release...sorry.
A right click will also cancel a selection.
It seems that with this new release, Jing doesn't "snap" to as many sub-rectangles within each window. For instance, in the past I could get it to snap to just the main content area of a browser, not including toolbars, scrollbars, etc. Now it won't do that, although I can get essentially the same result by manually selecting a region.
This is certainly no huge deal.
But if it's easy to put that feature back in w/o slowing things down again, I liked it.
Thanks!
@Thomas.
Yup just a little performance/resource improvement in this push. No major memory improvements yet.
And we'll put down your vote for ssh :)
@Matthew
Yeah, we switched to 'top level windows only' like the Mac has, partially to squeeze out a little more performance as you guessed.
Thanks for letting us know you used it! Good for us to know.
@XGhozt
That's a great suggestion.
Actually, could you submit it via the feedback?
It's easier to organize suggestions when they are all in one place.
@XGhozt
No denying that Jing is a HOG.
And we are not proud of that.
While Jing is a project we've been focusing on features over resource usage, but hopefully soon we'll be able to get that number way down 'cause part of the idea of Jing is that it's always there, so it can't eat up all your memory.
So, we know, but thanks for calling us out on it.
