  No thank you. Skitch does this really crazy thing of defaulting to stripping and recoding screenshots as JPEG, essentially losing fidelity and color information. It’s also slow and closed source, meaning I can’t extend it for special needs as well as not utilising SSH keys. Skitch also have a horrible, non-standard user interface with sounds (yikes). The drawing arrows feature is nice though.

  Neat app. :-)

  Tip: Check if “com.apple.screencapture location” is set, and use that value when looking for screen shots.

  Thank you. Will incorporate that into 1.2 (I’m going to release 1.1 today which contains mostly bug fixes).

  Can’t get it working on Leopard, the app doesn’t start. One more reason to upgrade to Snow Leopard.

  Skitch arrows would be nice though (the only reason to have have skitch and their annoying UI)

  Yupp. 10.6 only (I had to try C blocks and use new APIs for copy paste etc). I’ve considered adding an optional pre-processing stage (script you can run or some sort of GUI with basic drawing capabilities). Ideas are welcome, preferably as issues on GitHub.

  You should give FileShuttle (http://sht.tl) a try ;)

  Thanks. Looks neat. Gonna give it a go later. I’m concerned about the lack of “namespacing” in paths though (most file systems does not like to have thousands of files in a single directory).

  I’ve now released 1.1 which have the LSMinimumSystemVersion key in Info.plist set to “10.6.0″. Also added support for com.apple.screencapture location mentioned by @dentarg. You should get the update automagically through Sparkle. Click the “Check for updates…” menu item in Scrup if you can’t wait.

  Dude, tänkte just skriva något i stil med att jag inte förstår hur du hinner med allt. Men så såg jag att du råkat få med klockan i skärmdumpen. Sleep much? :)

  CloudApp is my tool of choice. It uses the default OS X shortcut for screenshots to upload your screenshot instantly. In addition you can click on a file or even a set of files/folders and hit a keyboard shortcut and it will be automatically zipped and uploaded. It also works for browsing websites, just hit the shortcut and it creates a short URL for the page you are browsing. It’s currently in closed beta and one downside is that you cannot specify your own server but I have a feeling that will come along soon.

  Also, you can hit the keyboard shortcut in Photoshop and it will export all the visible layers to a .PNG, upload it, create a short url and copy it to your clipboard. Pretty sweet!

  Rasmus Andersson November 27

  Will it create one PNG of all layers, or several PNGs? If so, does it create a single archive (resulting in one URL) or put multiple URLs into the pasteboard? And what happens whe I press that keyboard shortcut by mistake in a 200 MB, 1000 layer-class PSD file? :P

  Dylan Pine November 26

  Good question. Yeah, it only creates one .PNG and one URL. It’s pretty quick so I really don’t think it would be a big issue if you hit it by mistake.

  The website is here: http://getcloudapp.com but it is in closed beta right now and they’re not giving out a lot of invites so far. I will be giving away 3 invites sometime in the next week or two though; that contest will be announced on Twitter. I’m @dylanpine if you want to follow me there. Cheers!

  Sounds neat. I’d like to try it if you got an account to spare. Doing the “upload arbitrary files and possibly zip them” is a trivial thing to do which I’m welcoming anyone to do for Scrup — just clone the repository at GitHub, make the changes and send me a pull request and I’ll make sure it gets into the next version (given a nice implementation).

  Creating short URLs of web sites is out of the scope of Scrup, though.

  I get the error-icon, and when checking log i read: invalid URL returned by receiver. The files seems to be uploaded. What can be wrong? :S
• 
  ↩

  Rasmus Andersson December 28

  The “receiver” (recv.php or similar on your server which takes care of saving the image) is responsible for returning (i.e. sending a text response) containing the URL of the newly created image. This should be a URL, not a path (incorrect: “/my/image.jpg”, correct: “http://host.name/my/image.jpg”). If you still think this is a bug in DroPub, please file a report here: http://github.com/rsms/dropub/issues

  I figured out what the problem was. recv.php broke at stream_copy_to_stream because I forgot to set the server to run PHP5 instead of PHP4. Works now. Awesome! :D

  You might also find Droplr somewhat useful (http://droplr.com), but I think CloudApp is closest to what you’re looking for.

  I appreciate that you included PNGCrush in your app.

  Thanks for the tip — I’ve actually tried both but as the geek I am, eating your own food tastes better even if the serving is sloppy :)

  Yeah, pngcrush is really nice and easy to integrate in combo w Cocoa’s NSOperation.

  can’t get it to work, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong… I’ve uploaded the recv.php to my server, set up the preferences for scrup and all i get is the block sign on the menu bar… I’m getting this error from console —
  “[0x0-0xb80b8].se.notion.Scrup[1927] Scrup(1927,0×100581000) malloc: reference count underflow for 0×20008f380, break on auto_refcount_underflow_error to debug.”

  any help will be much appreciated. thanks in advance

  Scrup is working… there was something wrong on the server, fixed it now and is working perfectly. I have also added a function that outputs a bit.ly url …

  Yeah, the PHP Safe Mode was on which was causing the whole problem… Thanks for this fantastic app. One more question how can you delete the files created by Scrup… I suppose because they are created from php the ownership for the folders/files belong to “apache”, which either you need to have root access to delete these files or have a small cms for deleting the files. Anyways the application does its job and it’s fast, that’s the whole point! Thanks!

  PHP safe-mode is a bitch. Old dirty hack from the 1990s :P. Deleting files is out of the scope of Scrup. Only your PHP script knows how and where to save the files. You could simply set up another PHP-script which you can run (with password/auth-key) and pass a filename you wish to remove. However, I recommend not deleting files. If disk space is the issue, it would probably be better if you used an algorithm for naming files that would allow old ones to be replaced implicitly (think hash ring).
