NVM it works GREAT! loves it! haha

its great but can't find my capturd images!!
where are they!?

I can't get it to work properly. It will output to the clipboard, but it won't grab to a saved .pdf file. Tried all settings, no luck. Changed file name, changed save location, and it still won't save to folder.

Any ideas?

Just to add to the hotkey screen capture:
If you are doing the partial screenshot, the little select the part of the screen image appears. When this appears, you can release all the hot keys. Use the selector to select an area that you don't want anyone else to see. Now (while the mouse is still being held down) click apple-shift-3 to take a full screen shot with a blank box appearing over the area you selected.

A great idea, but some people are asking for hotkeys. Here's a quick tip: even without Grab or Konfabulator, OS X has a built-in screenshot hotkey. Actually, a slew of them. They all put their results in PDF files on the desktop.

Command-Shift-3 captures the whole screen.
Command-Shift-4 captures a part of the screen: select a region to capture, or press Space to select a window.
Add Control to these commands capture to the clipboard instead of the disk.

If you would like to move the widget, use command+drag. :-) It's relatively unknown, but that's the way to move any widget.

Version 2.0 will feature the LED/no-text setting, assuming I can use the GIMP effectively. The hotkey is an *excellent* idea.

Nice work, but... I have other widgets running and the icon for your widget does not seem to offer the option to relocate to another place on my desktop grrrrr (unless I am missing something).

Anyway nice work - saves me time.

would be better if there was like a hot key so if ur playing a game and u want to take a shot u just press it and wa la

Thanks Robert - this is oneof the truly best Widgets to date!
I like Greg's ideas too - but do keep it simple - that's the beauty!

I use Grab all the time, so this is great. Really nice job! Ditto scottb on killing the text though. How about adding a color-coded "LED" to the camera icon to cover that? Or color code the "handle" on the left side. Might also suggest reducing the size/complexity of the camera icon for window-specific grabs. Thanks for the great work!

Sure, I don't see why not, so long as the user can remember what setting it's on (After they click, it's not terribly hard to figure out...)

I wanted to design some icons for that, but I couldn't think of any good ones, so I kept it simple.

Fogot to add my rating...

SB

EXCELLENT!
One request, can you add the option to kill the text altogether?
It's lovely, and once I set the pref's, I'd like just the camera to be seen...

THX, and good job!

Well done! I've always though Grab was cumbersone to activate. I especially like the options made available in this widget's preferences that enable one to determine what is "grabbed".
