Crash when running in Yosemite

[Wobbet 1]

Got the Yosemite beta today and launched Skitch to get a screencap of something I was working on and it crashes.

 

When I select re-launch it comes up with a blank canvas but every time I try to take a new capture it crashes.

 

Anyone else running Yosemite that is running well?

 

Thanks!

Yep can confirm that Skitch will crash in Yosemite Beta and does not work correctly.

Yes, crashes every time, every which way.  Really looking forward to a version that works for Yosmite, especially now the public beta has been released.

Same problem here as well. Skitch crashes upon opening in Yosemite. Looks like I'll have to use an alternate screen capture program for a bit...

Me too. Any ETA on a fix?

Skitch is not working for me on Yosemite. Crashing.

 Probably not.

But, I guess you never know. At any rate, I'd recommend only using the Yosemite beta with Skitch if you have some kind of backup plan / alternative.

Anyone found a good alternative  - I have tried Ember - not compatibile with Yosemite, TinyGrab - works but no annotations, Snapir - the best I have found so far is - Awesome Screenshot -an extension for Chrome & Firefox - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/awesome-screenshot-capture-/developers

Same problem on my MacBook Air running Yosemite.

I would expect that there should already be a Beta of the next Skitch somewhere around.

Skitch is an essential app for me, so hope this is getting sorted out soon.

 

[EDIT]

I downloaded some older versions of Skitch.

The one I found working is 1.0.9

 

The 2.0.2 does work as well but doesn't display portrait screenshots or photos properly.

Landscape is however working fine.

Evernote rarely support beta OS's - I can't see Yosemite being any different.

yep. there is nothing to sort out. if you do not have an alternative device, i strongly recommend not trying out the yosemite beta.

Jeez yes. Never install a beta as your only OS. Use a separate partition or a different device. Years of testing these sorts of things has shown me all the ways things can go catastrophically wrong... thankfully I never had a problem because I always tested with care! 

 

It is very normal for software to not immediately support a beta OS. I'm sure they'll have something ready as Yosemite launch approaches in the fall.

In the meantime, if you're using Skitch to mark-up an image specifically for emailing, you may not be aware that Mail.app (in Yosemite only) now has mark-up features built-in.

 

After dragging an image into an email message, an arrow button will appear, superimposed over the dragged-in image, at the upper-right. Clicking that button reveals the mark-up tools. After completing the mark-up, you can control-click to save the modified image, without having to actually email it. (Dragging it to the desktop doesn't seem to work, yet — although it should.)

Yesterday I installed the Yosemite public-beta update, and today — on a whim — I launched Skitch and discovered, to my surprise, that it worked. I was able to successfully annotate and export an image.

 

It seems, anecdotally, that Apple may have fixed the problem. But of course, YMMV.

I just updated Yosemite and can confirm. After the update, Skitch is no longer crashing. Thanks Apple!

Skitch *was* working for me in Yosemite (not the beta), and everything has been going well. Suddenly, however, it has stopped working. It launches, but when I try and do a crosshair snapshot, it crashes out. Now I can't get it to do anything. I've tried restarts etc but nothing working.  Any ideas, folks?

 

thanks.
