(Archived) Skitch 2.0 is no longer useful to me without "Snap Safari"

[RonHip 3]

Unfortunately, Skitch is no longer a useful tool with the removal of essential features such as (S)FTP uploads and capture of Safari web pages (the WHOLE web page with "Snap Safari") I may as well now use Mac OS X's built-in Grab.app tools (or the more convenient command-keys.) What a shame. Another piece of good software ruined.

Frustrated too. There is Little Snapper by Realmac software for that... I hope Evernote will put it back! It sucks!

There's also WebSnapper which is slightly cheaper than Little Snapper, but only does web page to PDF capture:

Still, why should I have to buy anything when I had an app that did what I wanted? I just downgraded my Skitch to the previous edition. I guess that Evernote is willing to forego any future upgrade revenue stream from me!

This was the only reason I bought Skitch. If this won't return I think it will disappear from my applications folder quite quickly..

Same here. It was the reason why I used Skitch as often as I did.

Definitely a handy feature in the old Skitch. It's possible Evernote is opting for people to use their Web Clipper tool - http://evernote.com/webclipper/ - but I do hope they add this back to Skitch soon in a future release.

I second.

Also, the option to snap a window.

Hey all,

Currently 2.0 does not support the Safari capture option anymore due to restrictions to the way Apple treats apps downloaded from the Mac App Store. There is a security feature built into OSX called Sandboxing that essentially prevents one app from interfering with another. There are ways to work around this, but at this time we do not feel these workarounds provide a good user experience.

Bringing back full web page capture is something we want to do. We're currently investigating options for our own extension, better methods for working around sandboxing, and utilizing Evernote's own web clipper technology. We don't have an eta on any of the options, but trust me this is a very important feature that I would like to see return to Skitch.

Awesome! Thanks for the explanation Joe. I didn't think about the changes to OS X and sandboxing being a possible issue. Makes perfect sense.
