Problem Setting Full Screen Capture for FlySketch
I thought I had this all figured out, and to a point, I did. But today I noticed a bad conflict between FlySketch and Skitch when trying to do the Skitch 'selection grab' - Apple-Shift-5 hot key. There was a conflict between that and FlySketch's Ctrl-Apple-5 full screen hot key, but I had changed that, as I posted about a while back.
Surprise! It was back.
The problem was that FlySketch wasn't saving the change in it's Preferences. This meant that when I rebooted (like I have to do an update on the OS), I went back to the old mapping that had the conflict. I suppose that I could change the mapping in Skitch, but honestly, I'd like to have FlySketch set to what I wanted, and Skitch to stay where it is.
I asked the question on the FlySketch forum and we'll see what I get back. I'm hoping it's a simple fix - or maybe an update, but I'd hate to have to re-do this every time. I am somewhat forgetful in this regard.
UPDATE: I've decided that it's not worth the hassle, and if they fix it, that'd be great, but until they do, I'm moving Skitch's hot key to Apple-Ctrl-S to match the Apple-Ctrl-F for popping up FlySketch. There's a symmetry there that I can live with.
[11/8/07] UPDATE: I filed a bug with FlyingMeat on this. Turns out it's more likely to be acted upon in this manner as it's email-based and not the forums. We'll see if he responds today.
[11/8/07] UPDATE: I sent along the Console message in response to Gus' reply to my bug that it should, in fact, be stored in the Preferences. It was:
2007-11-08 13:34:14.322 FlySketch[2565] CFLog (0):
CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): plist parse failed; the data is not proper UTF-8.
The file name for this data could be:
/Users/drbob/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
The parser will retry as in 10.2, but the problem should be corrected in the plist.
Later, when I had the time, I removed the entire preferences file for FlySketch from my ~/Library/Preferences/ directory and then restarted FlySketch and put in my serial number. Unfortunately, the same thing happened - the hot key for the full-screen capture was getting set, but it wasn't getting pushed to Preferences. Odd. We'll have to see what Gus makes of this.
[11/12/07] UPDATE: I got a new version of FlySketch from Gus and this fixed the problem right up. Not exactly sure what he changed, but whatever it was - it worked.
