SnagIt Notes

In case you have not heard, TechSmith has just released a few new output accessories for their SnagIt application. One of which is the SnagIt Notes output accessory. I have written about Digital Sticky Notes before but this takes the cake! Here are a few things that I like about this accessory:

• Free to download and install for existing SnagIt users.
• Integrates nicely with SnagIt so you can choose to save your image (edited or not) as a image note on your desktop.
• Each image note can also have text notes associated with it.
• You can easily edit any image note at any time.
• All image notes can be automatically saved and reappear on your desktop upon reboot of the operating system.

There are still a few enhancements that could be made, however:

• Works on Windows only and requires the .NET 2.0 framework.
• Not sure I want to see my task manager cluttered up like this:
  
  Maybe the notes should removed from the task manager and shown as a clickable menu items from the SnagIt Notes system tray icon.
• I wish the images defaulted to *.snag format so I could delete and modify originally saved images in the future. Workaround: Don’t edit the images until you are ready to use them.

Great accessory and one that is now a part of my daily workflow. To see this accessory in action, watch this screencast.
