Minor update

Screen Grabber v2.0.2 is out, it is a major bugfix. Due to a stupid mistake on my part only batch processing was guaranteed to work in v2.0.1. Thanks to Harald Klein for bringing the problem to my attention.

Screen Grabber v2.0.1 added only a few small bug-fixes related to QuickTime codecs, and added translations for:

  • French by AurĂ©lien Chaudagne
  • Japanese by Christopher Li
  • Swedish by Fredrik Olsson
  • Traditional Chinese by Jack M.H. Lin
If you want to make a translation for another language, or have ideas for for what feature to add, improve, or remove(?) for version 2.5 then send me an e-mail.
You are also welcome to make a small donation. Donations will be used for coffe, snacks and anything else that keeps me happy for my coding session.

Screen Grabber 2.0 is a Universal application that runs natively on Mac OS X 10.4 or later for both PowerPC and Intel.
