or: Why Little Snapper won’t replace my Skitch.

I just bought the MacHeist 3 Bundle yesterday morning (you should do, too). One of the tools i wanted to have was Little Snapper – a Mac desktop application to capture, edit and organize screenshots. I already tested it some time ago, but wasn’t really convinced to pay 39$ for it.

When i read this tweet (which means “…those who have little snapper don’t need skitch”) i thought “is that true?” and i must say, no, it’s not for me and here’s why:

• you can make freehand drawings in skitch (fun)
• skitch feels more lightweight when using it
• skitch can be used with mento, my favorite social bookmarking site
• you can mail images directly from out of skitch
• skitch has private sharing features (secret URLs etc)
• skitch is free
• i love skitch

Some more things i am missing in Little Snapper:

• tag autosuggestion/autocomplete
• tag list to chose from
• +Z should work when adding annotations
• somehow smart collections don’t work
• upload is very slow
• tabs in browser would be great
• open all open firefox tabs in littlesnappers browser
• upload to ipernity, scrnshots, etc…

I also shared these at getsatisfaction.com month ago.

So, long story short: I will use both tools.
