Dear Aunt TUAW: Snow Leopard killed GrabUp, Auntie fixes it

Seriously, check out Plasq.com's Skitch... it's fantastic and free.

After having seen this last 'upload to FTP' action I gave automator another try, and I actually got extremely close to copying Grabup. For free. Only downside is a few seconds (2-3sec) delay before the upload starts... Check it out!

build your own using automator with upload to ftp.

SL lets you easily set up a service with a shortcut. :)

The idea behind Grabup is so ingenious and astonishingly useful that I have been singing its praises for a year, despite an ever-more-rotten experience. The client started glitching, the server would go down for hours at a time, the twitter updates stopped coming, and finally it died entirely under Snow Leopard. Developer response: "..."

I played with Tinygrab for ten minutes before whipping out my credit card. Every single aspect of the client is better, with the added bonus that it functions at all. You can manage your uploads after the fact, you can upload discrete files, you can get a short URL automatically, and oh.... did I mention that it WORKS?

Life's too short to wait on developers that don't give a shit.

Another nice option is Snapplr. It's similar to GrabUp, except provides some more flexibility as to where you want your screenshot uploaded: to their servers, to a new email message, your clipboard, or do a file on your desktop as usual. There's also a neat Live option where you can select a window and create a "live link" that can take a screenshot of that window whenever someone accesses the URL.

I discovered the same problems as I installed Snow Leopard as soon as I received the Developer Preview. This was especially sad as I had just upgraded to GrabUp Pro.

I did the same thing you did, I rolled my own.

It is a ruby replacement that uses Growl for notifications. It is very flexible and can even invoke an arbitrary command when a new screenshot is found -- I provide an example using curl to post to twitpic.com, or a simple scp.

Given the target audience (aka me), I didn't give it the polish of GrabUp -- but it works great for me.

I might just have to fork grabupper and see how you did things. Thanks for releasing the source!

Does this work with FTP-ing to my own server?

Chris, if you'll excuse me... Your product is less than GrabUp's but with current development. For me and my house we'll use GrabUp, the first and still the best without virtually any updates since April of 2008. How does your product stand up? :P Create a new way of doing things and maybe I'd have more respect. :)

All of this "It doesn't work on Snow Leopard" is getting old. It's starting to sound like a bunch of Windows XP users complaining that their programs don't work on Vista. Get over it already, find another program to do what you want, or just wait for a fix from the developer.
