Timed Screen Capture on second display not working

[froboy 0]

On Mavericks (10.9) using Skitch 2.7 the Timed Screenshot feature doesn't work on my second display. The timer works fine for screenshots on the primary display, but when I try to do a timed shot on the second display there is no timer and the screenshot is taken immediately.

 

halp.

@froboy - We are aware of the bug and working on a fix. The simple work around is to enable "Show advanced options after a screen snap" and when you do a timed shot on a second screen the tools will show and you can click on the clock to start the timed shot.

 

Right now on the second monitor Skitch is treating that as a region capture instead of a timed.

Rock. Thanks very much for the quick reply.

Nope - not working for me. I get the advanced tools, click the clock, the timer starts, I open a menu item, the capture ignores the context menu. Another bug?

 

Back to Voila!

I can't get the Timed Screenshot to work on Mac 10.9.1 either.  I enabled "Show Advanced Options After" and nothing shows.  Ideas?

This is not working for me either--nor is the suggested fix above.

Not working on Mountain Lion either for me. Workaround not working either. Insanely annoying.

This still does not work, 7 years on. Its amazing that a major bug is still not fixed.  10.14.4 on 2 external monitors.

To be clear, the time screen snap does exactly the same as the non timed version. Even with the timer set to 10s in preferences.

This thread was quiet now for more than 6 years, after only a hand full of postings.

How urgent and important this super-feature might be, when you look at the thread history ?

Major bugs have other qualities than this ...

If you want to help to get things fixed, follow this routine:

1. Get yourself a paid account - developers want to have something in their fridge as well
2. Post a ticket with support. This privilege comes with the upgraded account.
3. Wait and see (sometimes shorter, sometimes longer)

It's broken here too.  I have a macbook pro with an external monitor.  The timer feature does not work on either monitor.  The capture always happens with no delay.
