Configuring the FogBugz Output Accessory:

The only thing necessary to configure the output accessory is telling it the URL for your FogBugz site, so it knows where to submit the screenshots.

From the SnagIt Editor, go to the Send tab and click on the arrow below FogBugz. Choose Options from the menu.

Enter your FogBugz URL:

Capture the Screenshot with SnagIt:

SnagIt includes a huge number of options for capturing and editing images.

Send the Screenshot to FogBugz:

On the Send tab, click on the FogBugz icon to create a new case with the image:

If you are not already logged on to your FogBugz account using Internet Explorer, you will be prompted to log on.

Other Options

Use the Existing Case... menu item to send a screenshot to an already existing case instead of opening a new one.

Use the New Email menu item to send a screenshot as a new email message through FogBugz.

Use the Send Reply menu item to send the screenshot as the reply to an email message received through FogBugz.

Troubleshooting

The FogBugz Output Accessory always uses Microsoft Internet Explorer to transmit the screenshot to FogBugz, even if your preferred browser is set to something else. Therefore, Microsoft Internet Explorer needs to be setup so that it can reach the FogBugz server. If you are having trouble sending screenshots to FogBugz and use a different browser, try running Internet Explorer once, and ensure that it can reach the FogBugz server and get you logged on.

Note that once the screenshot has been transmitted, the FogBugz Output Accessory will launch your preferred browser so that you  can edit and submit the case with the attached screenshot.
