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.
