A comment on the idea "Mini control window, like in iTunes?" in Spotify:

Although a menubar option could be useful, it can get very cluttered up there. I would prefer something like coversutra or bowtie where the window can be pulled up with a shortcut key. – George, on June 20, 2009 22:44

CezzBB - if the client recorded what was listened to, it could send it back to spotify once it reconnected to the internet, so spotify could still keep track of how many times the advert was listened too, but just not as accurate if it was recorded real time.

A comment on the idea "Offline Spotify" in Spotify:

Well It will play the whole song if you have it cached and you disconnect from the Internet, so I'm guessing it checks with the spotify server or something before starting to play... so all they need to do is remove these checks for cached songs when its offline. – George, on March 08, 2009 22:25

Add option to annotate screengrabs

Well, When I share screengrabs with my friends, I sometimes like to add annotations to them. I do this by pausing grabup, taking the screengrab as I would normally, opening it in preview and using the built in annotation tools before un-pausing grabup and taking a screengrab of my annotated screengrab, which is a bit of a pain.

My idea is to automatically open preview with the screengrab and then upload it once it has been saved, which would allow people to add their annotations. The main problem that I can see with this is how to turn this option on and off, after all, the reason most people love grabup is because of how simple and quick it is to use. I don't really have any ideas how to do this, apart from a key combination, but pressing 4 keys with one hand is quite hard, but then again, if its not an often used feature, it might not be that much of a trouble.

A comment on the question "URLs are too long -- auto make them tinyURLs?" in grabUp:

Yes, because it must return the url to the grabup program, then it should be easy to add an option into the prefpane, or perhaps multiple options if it matters to people so much. – George, on February 20, 2009 00:05

I would like to buy grabup, but only if it supported a secure method of uploading screengrabs.

The actual grabup.com site returns a 509 bandwidth limit exceeded error which could have something to do with this.
