Hi,
one small thing I’ve noticed with the Mac Uploader:

I take a screenshot, then the scrnshots windows pops up. After that, I change to the browser to copy the URL.
At that moment, the ss-windows hides behind the browser window and can’t get back to the ss-window quickly (I have to use exposé or “bring all to the front”).
-> it would be great to have scrnshot-desktop in the application switcher (”apple + tab”). Another idea would be a “stay in front” option.

By the way, thanks for this great website

I would love that. We are publishing our public API in May and I would love to see as many tool as possible integrate with it. Skitch is a great example of a tool that would be useful to ScrnShots users. I plan on contacting them to see if we can get ScrnShots accounts integrated into their product.

The reason we want to build our own app is so that we have control over the feature set of the application and aren’t relying on a third party. We have lots of ideas for making and sharing interaction design patterns easier, but they rely on good tools to capture the content and markup/share them.

PS. @Chris - Love all your screenshots on flickr! Hopefully we might be able to sway you over

Seems like maybe you should just use Skitch and add ScrnShots as an upload option?

I would love to be able to do this in AIR, but AIR doesn’t have access to the system functions to take screenshots. AIR can take screenshots of itself, but nothing outside of its sandbox. Which means that you would have to implement a browser to take web screenshots and you still wouldn’t be able to take screenshots of your desktop.

Why don’t you create an AIR app for this?

Looking awesome Greg! It’d be great if the url field could pre-populate, however I know your Firefox plug-in version of the app will have that functionality. Nice work!
