Background uploading

[selfishy 5]

Hi, I've moved to the new skitch (after how many years and I'm still calling it the "new" skitch?!) because of the retina support, and decided to give Evernote a try with it. Yes, your evil plan is working!

 

I was excited to have all my Skitch notes automatically in Evernote, but if you have auto-upload on, it actually prevents you from using the app in any sort of convenient way. The steps are:

 

1. Take a screenshot

2. Have a non-dismissible, non-hidable, can't-even-put-another-app-in-front-of-it window appear with a progress bar for 10-20 seconds

3. Get back to work

 

When it really should just be 

 

1. Take a screenshot

2. Keep working

 

If you made auto-upload happen in the background, then we'd all burn through our upload quota faster (and then have to pay subscription fees). I had a paid subscription to Evernote for three months or so (bought a notebook for it), but didn't see any point. But would be happy to pay for auto-backup of all my Skitch notes - as long as it didn't cost me in time too!

 

Can you please add that to the radar? Maybe because this stands a chance of making money it'll actually get done?

Hi selfishy,

You should be able to do exactly what you are wanting it to do. Can you PM me a screenshot of the progress bar you are referring to?

Thanks,

Lester

That was more complicated than I imagined! Screenshotting yourself is a bit like trying to have a conversation with a mirror. And, the same undismissable window comes up when you select "copy shared url" - and refuses to give you the direct image URL.

Hi, is there a follow up to this? Is that normal, or am I just seeing something weird? Can I fix it somehow? Would love to get it working as expected!

 

Thanks

Hello? Hello? Is this thing on?

Hi, I went and did the suggested update, but still don't see a fix for this. In fact, now the window doesn't go away, ever - it just doesn't sync with EN ever.

 

Good job team!

Hey! You've done something. Now it comes up AFTER you close the window. Which is a good start! Can we please just have it not pop up at all? Or even only pop up if there's a problem?

 

Thanks!
