Dudu Shmaya has treated us to a new TFS utility. Dudu was inspired by a post by Brian Harry that introduced a plug-in between SnagIt and TFS and decided to create a plug-in to his prefered image cropping tool.
You can download both Cropper and the Plug-in from this post.
Using the plug we can capture images of the screen and attach them to work items with a simple click on PrtScrn
