Screen Capture has also been improved big
time in Jaguar. When you use the interactive version (command-shift-4),
the space bar will toggle between the regular marquee selection mode and
a new mode to capture just a single window, the Dock or the menu bar.
The cursor changes to a camera icon when you are in this new mode and
as you mouse over different areas of the screen the screen capture target
is highlighted for you.
And of course, there's more... Screen captures can be triggered from
the command line (and therefore AppleScript, perl, etc.) using the new
screencapture command found
in /usr/sbin/
usage: screencapture
