Some small things, like the screenshot thing, just tells you that this os isn't finished yet.

Screenshot functionality is there, though. It's just pretty hard to discover unless you visit help.

I think the issue is that there isn't any feedback when you take a screenshot. You have to take the screenshot and then open the file browser to see it.

The other issue Danny was encountering was that Wordpress uses a flash based file upload widget. When flash opens a choose file dialog it opens a GTK-like full system browser. The standard Chrome OS file browser that comes up when you hit a HTML file input is much simpler and would've made the screenshots easier to find.

That's it exactly! After I finished the review, I talked with Google and said so what's up -- the screenshot feature doesn't seem to work. Yes, it does. You just have no idea that one was made. There's no showing you of what you shot. A file is just made, placed in your screenshot directory, which you can't even get to until you use a program that allows you to select from the hard drive.

ctrl - j Should open up the file browser with a screenshot folder as well.
