Take screenshots in screenshot-unfriendly apps
Authored by: osxpounder on Jun 09, '04 12:54:30PM

Sadly, I can seldom get Grab via the Services menu. It seems to always be grayed-out whenever I try it -- its menu, I mean. In Safari, even in Finder, I get no love from Grab. Is this true for everyone else? It seems completely illogical, so I am suspicious that something might be wrong with my setup.

grab in the services menu is meant to grab the current application window and insert it into the current application. therefore this only works in applications which can handle images. it should work in mail and it should work in textedit, when you edit a rtf file.
