SnapperHead is a handy little app that sends screenshots to people who enter your IP address into a web browser. Simply launch SnapperHead™, then send a friend your IP address (it is shown on the SnapperHead™ window under "Snaps Served"). When they type that internet address into the location field of a web browser (you know, where you usually type in "http://www.stimpsoft.com"), they will be sent, as an image in their browser, a picture of your screen. That's all there is to it!
How to use it:
Its all very simple. Just launch it then let other people know your IP address. You can set the quality of the image to send to be high or low, but keep in mind two things:
A) High quality images look nice, but they take longer to send
B) High quality images can take more RAM to create
It is best to take a test shot first to see if you need to boost the RAM requirements of SnapperHead™. A high quality image of a screen at 1024x768 pixels requires about 12mb of RAM. The RAM for SnapperHead can be adjusted in the Info window of the application. To do this, you must first quit SnapperHead™. Then highlight its icon, and hold down Command (the Apple button) then press the I key. In the window that pops up, pull the menu that says "General Information" down to "Memory". In the field that says Preferred Size, type in the amount of RAM you need in bytes. For 12mb of RAM, this would be 12000. For 9mb, 9000, and so forth. Then close the window, and relaunch.
System Requirements:
And PPC Macintosh with at least 12mb RAM free. It can be "real" RAM or "Virtual" RAM. Older PPC Macs, like the 6100, work just as well as newer Macs. Mac OS 8.5 or higher is needed.
You must also be connected to the internet when running this application.
Changes:
Version 1.1 adds the ability to change what port you wish to snerver snaps to. You must quit SnapperHead™ and relaunch to make the change work if you alter the port. Default port is 80. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, just leave the field "Use port:" to 80.
Version 1.3 adds the ability to change the size and color depth of the image that is sent to the browser.
