Please be aware that if you leave this widget activated in your dashboard, even when the dashboard is not displayed, the widget is apparently running, and will prevent your screen from sleeping or staying asleep! Removing the widget from your dashboard fixes this problem.
I recently spent a few days figuring this out! It would be really nice if the developer would make the widget sleep whenever dashboard is not active!
This is too little, too late, Ambrosia. You had a good product in Snapz Pro several years ago. Since then, you've let it languish. Long-standing bugs persist, and features that should have been updated ages ago stayed the same for far too long.
I can't tell you how infuriating it is to record a movie only to watch Snapz Pro create the movie file on the desktop only to just as quickly remove it never to be sen again, just because some QuickTime codec changed and Snapz threw up because of it. It's just as aggravating to have Snapz refuse to react to the assigned keyboard shortcut!
Way back in 2005, I submitted a simple feature request to Ambrosia regarding the fact that Snapz won't remember which shadow setting you make according to the type of screen shot you take. If I typically take full screen shots with no shadow, and window shots with the normal window shadow, and selection shots with the square shadow, why must I constantly switch back and forth? I suggested that Snapz Pro would be much better if it would remember which shadow I use for each type of screen shot . In all this time, Ambrosia hasn't bothered to respond:
I mentioned it to them again in 2007 - again with no response:
In 2006, I asked about an option to have Snapz Pro NOT restore the cursor to it's original position after taking a screen shot. It may seem to be a good idea to restore the cursor position, but it is unnerving and non-intuitive at best, if you ask me. Ambrosia never responded:
I've since tried Screen Flick and it's great. Sorry, Ambrosia.
StartupSound.prefpane doesn;t sem to work at all on Intel-based Macs. This utility, on the other hand, works flawlessly on both PowerPC- and Intel-based Macs. So I'm revising my review rating for it. : )
When i try to uncheck the "Show in Dock" preference, Screenflick just beeps at me. If I examine the preferences file, the dock preference is set to false. So it shouldn't be appearing in the Dock, yet does. I tried deleting the preferences file, but the new one that is created has the same issue. Help?
I found out from the developer that this was happening because my Mac OS X user account (non-admin) did not have permission to modify the Screenflick.app/Contents/Info.plist file. The LSUIElement property in this file is what controls whether the application icon shows in the Dock.
