History

Skitch is your friend. It knows if you send something to someone, you probably will desperately need it again next week. Also, sometimes there are important projects which you want to keep in an archive at all times. And if it's important, and you close it without remembering to press the 'Save' button, you might loose your work. Arrgh! We understand.

So, whenever you perform a 'drag me', or press the 'webpost' button, or press the Save button, a copy of your current Skitch is archived into the Skitch History. And if you press the Save button while Skitching, then a recent copy of this Skitch will be kept in the History. That is, if you archive an item once, from then on, Skitch will keep an up-to-date copy of this Skitch in your archive, no matter what you do. Your archived Skitch will always add the latest version to History even if you move on to another project, make some changes, and then start to work on something new.

The History View

history view

At the top are various ways to search through your History and filter the results, to make finding the one you want easier. For example, if you remember the name of your Skitch image, you can type its name. Or, if you remember whether you saved or webposted the image then press that button to refine your search.

In the middle section is a list of all your previous Skitches in the History, organized from most recent to oldest. And at the bottom are the details for the current selected Skitch image in History. If you double click on a Skitch, or press open, that Skitch will be loaded into the current Skitch view. If you didn't mean to do that, then you can press the Undo button.

When an image is selected, the lower section shows technical details and offers buttons to delete the image from the Skitch History, to re-copy a link if it was webposted, and to delete the image off the server or Skitch.com service.
