The developers are very responsive to input and support requests.

beckett shared an idea in TinyGrab on November 07, 2009 18:19:

Add a "Startup at login" option to preferences.

I assume on the Mac it is intended you select the "open at login" option from the dock icon. But since you can hide the dock icon, I believe it would be clearer for most folks if there was also an option to toggle this from the Preferences.

beckett started following the idea "Include an option to go to the Control Panel from the Menu Bar icon" in TinyGrab.

Yes, FYI my download was from MacHeist...

I can imagine the attention this brought to your app is like that TV commercial a few years ago about an Internet store startup. The staff is thrilled to see the purchase counter go up when the site goes live until they suddenly realize it's flipping over a 100 digits at a time. ;-)

beckett replied on November 07, 2009 16:47 to the question "Syncing deleted grabs?" in TinyGrab:

Thanks for the quick response. Now I understand.

If you don't mind me tossing out an idea... Perhaps if the delete function was handled on the client side (say a "red X" icon you could click next to an entry) then you could remove the entry from the pref file and send a custom URL back to the server to remove it there as well? Just a thought. I'll shut up and go back to grabbing now. ;-)

I agree with the developer's response. HOWEVER, couldn't the short URL explanation be covered in the FAQ? Tiny Grab didn't come with a Read Me and I think a lot of less technical people wouldn't even realize the possible exposure. Also, perhaps short URLs could be disabled by default?

beckett asked a question in TinyGrab on November 07, 2009 16:30:

Syncing deleted grabs?

If you delete grabs from the web interface in a premium account, how do you remove the references in the menu bar icon (Mac) ?

beckett replied on November 07, 2009 16:27 to the idea "A Better Way to Delete Grabs" in TinyGrab:

I'd prefer a simple check box next to each entry so you can selectively delete more than one at a time. A "delete all" button would have the oppositely frustrating affect IMHO.
