I'm sure you probably discovered this by now, but the image is kept in memory until it is "saved" via the Save menu.

The UX could probably do with some improvement showing that the image is not automatically saved to disk, like scrot or OSX's Image Capture shortcuts, though.

> "saved" via the Save menu.

Where is this menu?

Save menu? The snipping tool disappears as soon as release the mouse button, there is nothing else you can do with it.

lixquid is talking about the old snipping tool, not the one attached to Win+Shift+S.

I agree that it's really unclear what happens when you use Win+Shift+S to grab the screen. No indication at all that the image is on the clipboard.

There needs to be a Win+Ctrl/Alt+Shift+S that automatically saves to the Screenshots directory or something.
