Using Little Snapper with DropBox

I use Little Snapper all the time for collecting screenshots of websites and my work, it’s a great way of saving all those snippets of creativity. I use two machines my desktop and my laptop and I needed a way to keep both of these in sync. I also wanted to be able to edit and use Little Snapper on both machines, although not at the same time so that if I was casually using my laptop on the sofa it would automatically update when I used my work computer.

I do this by using Little Snapper and DropBox – If you want to do this then here’s how:

1. You will need a copy of Little Snapper

2. You will also need a Dropbox account (remember the more images you store in little snapper the more your dropbox account will expand).

3. Install Little Snapper

4. In Little Snapper go to the Preferences then Advanced choose Create New Library

5. Name the Library whatever you want and save the location to your DropBox

6. Close down Little Snapper, and go to your second machine or installation of Little Snapper.

7. On the second machine load up Little Snapper and go to Preferences – Advanced and select Choose for the Library

8. Select the Library from your DropBox one (you just created)

9. Close down the application down, now open it up again and hey presto you now have the same Little Snapper database between both machines.

The database will now sync between machines as you add new items to it, if you do this for the first time and have a large DB of data wait for Dropbox to sync completly before opening Little Snapper.

Having just the one copy of the Little Snapper database is great and it means I can use either machine to save a collate ideas into the program and will be updated to the other machine.

Sherlock Holmes – Opening Closing credits design

Sherlock Holmes opening title sequence

If you haven’t seen Sherlock Holmes yet the best thing for me about the film (including the CGI shots of London) is the opening and closing title sequence. It a master piece of illustration and design. Read more about how it was done and by who here – Sherlock Holmes opening title sequence.

Book Book – protect that Mac Book Pro

book book

Protecting your MacBook is a top priority and it’s job one for BookBook. Slip your Mac inside the velvety soft, padded interior. Zip it closed and your baby is nestled between two tough, rigid leather hardback covers for a solid level of impact absorbing protection. The rigid spine serves as crush protection for an additional line of defense. BookBook creates a hardback book structure that safeguards your MacBook like few other cases can. Far better than any floppy neoprene bag ever will. End of story.
