The IDE seems to have gotten a screenshot feature (see Tools). If you take a
screenshot from there, project/.hidden/screenshots is created and the file
is placed there. From this directory you can select screenshots in the
publish ComboBox.

[ I must say that I'm not a fan of this. I'd like my screenshots to show
  only the application window (if there is only one window), so until now
  I created that directory manually and inserted a screenshot from outside
  the IDE. My normal desktop screenshot program offers me to take
  screenshots from a specific window (the one under the cursor after some
  adjustable delay) only.

  Maybe Benoit can implement this in the IDE's screenshot module, too? That
  or a new popup menu entry for the project TreeView, "Paste screenshot",
  which would paste a file (path) from the clipboard and create the necessary
  directories automatically. ]

Tobi
