Sharpshooter lets you rename your screenshots with pinpoint accuracy. Sharpshooter is a small utility which aids the management of screenshots.

Sharpshooter lets you manipulate and process the screenshot while it is still fresh on your mind.

When you take a screenshot on Mac OS X with Command-Shift-3 (or with another variation) Sharpshooter will present a window where you can review the picture and choose what to do with it. You can either rename it from its default name to something more descriptive, move the screenshot to the Trash, or cancel the operation
What's New
Version 2.0.4b1:
  • Now asks to move Sharpshooter.app to the Applications folder. While not required, it's highly suggested that you keep the app in that folder. If you move Sharpshooter while it or its hidden background agent is running, the app won't function properly.
  • Fixed a possible mismatch between the file extension shown in the Name field and the Format popup.
  • Fixed issue where the app terminated before it finished moving some files to the Trash.
  • Fixed a problem with moving a screenshot to a folder if the folder no longer exists.
  • Fixed a Lion compatibility issue with the preferences window.
  • Made the login item code more robust.

I tried this software and I have to say I liked it very much. But (unless the developer has added something to it that wasn't in the version I tried) it seems far too expensive for the amount of use I would get from it.

I use a nifty lite app called Jing that will create a screen grab of whatever area of the screen or window you want, or create a video. Once the screen is grabbed you can annotate it with text and shapes. It's free and works great with Lion. The default save is to name it using the current date and time, but you're always able to rename it on save. Control-J is the key shortcut.

Is 2.0 a paid upgrade? I couldn't find any upgrade-pricing-scheme on the devs website...

I recently bought this and quite like the little app. Works as advertised and is a dependable little helper.

However, there are two things I'd ask the dev to work on:

1. Make it a little quicker. Sometimes up to 5 seconds elapse until the "Save as" window pops up.

2. Make it work with Default Folder X.

Other than that perfect little app that deserves a 5 star rating.

This is a potentially useful app, but it needs a few more features to make it easy to use:

- The Sharpshooter window should remember its size. Currently, the window opens too small to see the screenshot clearly, which is necessary when trying to distinguish between multiple similar-looking screenshots.

- A "zoom in" button to enlarge screenshots to 100% without enlarging the window would be useful, along with a hand tool to slide the image around in the window. A corresponding "zoom out" button would restore the image to a size that fits the window.

- If a Sharpshooter window is already open, then subsequent screenshots should appear within the same window, perhaps accompanied by a display of thumbnails to move from one image to another.

- It would be nice to be able to specify a number of favorite folders that would be available in the dropdown menu when choosing a location to save the screenshot.

I forgot to add to that last point that a list of recently-used folders (as used by Sharpshooter to save screenshots) would also be useful in the dropdown menu.

I gave this tool a solid 5 star rating below but after playing with it for a few hours I have one giant glaring problem with it.

There is no option to change the compression settings for certain file types like JPEG. This is one feature that seems to have been omitted from this otherwise handy tool. Without the ability to choose low quality, medium quality or high quality output files, I really don't have any use for this handy tool. If I have to manually convert each screen snapshot then this tool really won't save me any time in the least bit.

I emailed the developer about this suggestion as well.

Great app as it adds a step apple omitted, but in terms of file type and compression secrets allows setting standard file type for screen capture and right click contextual menu zips in one click so i find little need for another feature in sharpshooter.

COLLIN BLACKMAN you cannot post ZIP files to image hosting sites, LOL.

What good is zipping up an image to me then?

Both JPEG and TIF allow internal compression methods to reduce the file size before saving them. That was my point , any standard program on the Mac that saves in various image formats allows those options.

But SharpShooter does not offer such an option.

Very, very, very handy little tool. Just tried it for the first time today and already in love with it.

A keeper in my books and Snow Leopard ready too before it's even released.

Great job!

I'm so glad this is Snow Leopard ready -- I'd hate to think of using Snow Leopard without it. Sharpshooter is one of my most used utilities, and one of the best $15 dollars I've ever spent on shareware. I've never, ever had a problem with it, and it's saved me hours of time and frustration since I began using it. Couldn't recommend more highly!

Doesn't work.
Menubar icon is there, dropdown menu says it's watching for screenshots.
