VeteranMacworldreaders know that Snapz Pro X is our screenshot utility of option . However , not everyone needs the advanced options Snapz Pro X provides ; for many mass , Mac OS X ’s built - in screenshot capabilities are more than adequate . ( In fact , there are time — for example , when aim a basic screenshot — when I find myself using those built - in features even though I ’ve get down Snapz Pro X instal . )
The result to my 2nd bitch can be detect in Isaac Wankerl’sSharpshooter 0.4.1 (; free ) . This nifty utility watches the placement to which screenshots are saved ; when it detects a new screenshot , Sharpshooter displays a dialog that includes a preview of the screenshot and several options . typewrite a fresh name for the file cabinet and tap Rename and the image data file will immediately be renamed . press Cancel to keep the screenshot but apply its default name . come home on Move To Trash to edit the newfangled screenshot ; this last option , combined with the in - window prevue , is useful for quickly spotting and deleting obvious screenshot ass - ups .
you could temporarily disable Sharpshooter ’s booklet - watching using its menu - bar card . ( If you take , via Sharpshooter ’s preferences , not to exhibit this fare , an included AppleScript can be used to quit Sharpshooter . )
Sharpshooter is smart enough to recognise if you ’ve alter the default screenshot data formatting and destination ( for example , using one of the solutions I antecedently supply ) ; it hold back OS X ’s configurations for the proper pamphlet and file type to supervise . ( Note that if you change these system configurations while Sharpshooter is ply , you ’ll require to quit and relaunch Sharpshooter for it to recognize the change . ) I ’ve also found that Sharpshooter does n’t interfere with other screenshot apps . For example , I have my Mac jell up so both Mac O tenner screenshots and Snapz Pro X screenshots are saved , in TIFF format , to the same folder . Yet Sharpshooter does n’t attempt to rename screenshots taken using Snapz Pro X.
On the other hand , Sharpshooter currently supports only persona files with the following filename extensions : .jpeg , .jpg , .pdf , .png , .tif , and .tiff . I also once in a while experienced an upshot where Sharpshooter would n’t recognize new screenshots ; quitting and relaunching it would fix the government issue . ultimately , Sharpshooter ’s dialog do n’t stay on on top of other window , and there ’s no menu command to bring its windows to the front ; if you flip to another practical app before opt what to do with a newfangled screenshot , you ’ll have to obliterate other applications , or use Exposé , to find Sharpshooter ’s naming dialog again .
But overall , Sharpshooter is a handy shaft that works well . I ’ve get it run on my Macs for those times when I use OS X ’s own screenshot features .
Sharpshooter 0.4.1 is a Universal binary and demand Mac OS X 10.4 or by and by .
