Removal of menubar icon? Why? At least integrate it into Evernote's clipper icon and let me get rid of the one in the dock. Why can't I choose the thickness of the lines and size of the text anymore? Paint bucket? And if my hands were shaking too much to achieve the result for some reason, I always had advanced instruments in preferences where I could input exact numbers from the keyboard.Įverything just feels like more of a hassle, including the extra click/keystroke I now need to confirm my selection when taking a crosshair snapshot. I could get the size right in a matter of seconds in older version. The slider suggested the numbers that were near that but never that. I just couldn't get my picture to be 640px in width exactly. And after this I'm getting a slider that's nowhere close to precise. Resizing is even worse, because I need to activate the tool and then use small switcher to toggle cropping/resizing while it was a matter of using a simple handle before. Who said I want that small rectangle in the center? How often would this scenario actually happen? Why?

I didn't have to make an extra click to activate crop tool and I definitely didn't have to drag each of 4 handles individually from the center of the image just to get them back to the edges of the original so I can start looking into what I want to leave out. While older Skitch had somewhat childish interface and felt odd in native Mac OS environment, it made those things really smooth and almost intuitive. I almost sent my image by mail 3 times before I managed to aim well enough to see other options in that drop down.Ĭropping and resizing feels much worse now. And aiming for that small arrow in the corner of sharing icon is real pain. And you did same for ability to pick my output format. Sometimes it makes a lot of difference in the workflow. I actually paid for Skitch's premium account not long before you acquired them, so I could have direct URL to my image copied to the clipboard automatically. I do feel personally affected by some other changes though. Skitch was something you used without thinking.

You took 2 great free products that a lot of people had years to learn to depend on and merged them together in a very limiting way. I'm your premium subscriber and I used for hosting, so I'm not very affected by the change, yet I do find the move itself to be quite in poor taste. But this one is just not doing it for me unfortunately. I believe a lot of thinking and hard work went into this launch and usually I try to be appreciative and open-minded when it comes to updates to the products I use. Close the Property List Editor and save the changes If it has a value of 0, you can change it to 1 by double clicking on the value. This setting should be in the property list and should have a Value of 1 (hidden). The setting we are interested is called 'LSUIElement'. Click the triangle next to 'Root' and it should display the contents of the ist file. Double click on ist to open it - it should open with the Property List Editor by default This should open a folder that contains a 'Contents' folder, open that folder and you should see a list of folders and files including 'ist' Navigate to your Applications folder and right-click on the Skitch.app and select 'Show Package Contents'. You'll need the ability to edit a property list: For anyone having difficulty with Skitch 1 not respecting your preference to show only the menubar icon and not the dock icon under Lion, this worked for me (copied from ). On my Lion install, there are no snapping and drawing preference tabs - is that a bug or are the instructions for changing preferences not updated? THE SELECTION TOOL!!!!! It is ridiculously difficult to select individual elements by clicking on them without a dedicated selection tool. easy ability to change tool sizes (new method is incredibly awkward) Custom color picker and 'eyedropper'-type color matching tool

This enables me to add text when there's not enough room on the screenshot itself and allows me to easily make tutorials

I often add white space to screenshots by clicking and dragging. Things I really miss in addition to things already mentioned: Evernote - Scrap version 2 - or make it beta - and make version 1 the 'official' version until you get things right again.
