SnagIt 8.2.3 Online Manual

The SnagIt Main Interface > Tools Menu > Program Preferences > Notifications Tab

Notifications Tab

The Notifications tab allows you to set how SnagIt notifies you of problems and errors, and to designate whether these notices are to be saved in a log.

To access the Notifications tab:

Select Tools > Program Preferences.
The Program Preferences dialog box opens.
Select the Notifications tab.

Note: When using timer-activated capture, disable all popup messages and select the Log Events to a File option. This allows SnagIt to operate unattended, since communications errors can occur for a number of reasons. SnagIt logs the errors, and then continues running.

The following table summarizes the description and use of each option on the Notifications tab.
