Title: Snippage
Post by: nwfloridafalconfan on 19-Jan-12, 12:01:19 AM
I found a neat little free application that may come in handy during the upcoming nesting season.  With "Snippage" (http://snippage.gabocorp.com/ (http://snippage.gabocorp.com/)) you can run a portion of any web site in its own little window, separate from your browser.  You can work on spreadsheets, word processing, email, Facebook, etc while keeping an eye on a favorite web site.  Snippage runs in and requires "Adobe AIR" (http://get.adobe.com/air/otherversions/ (http://get.adobe.com/air/otherversions/)).  I use "Always On Top Maker" (http://www.fadsoft.net/AlwaysOnTopMaker.htm#always-on-top-maker (http://www.fadsoft.net/AlwaysOnTopMaker.htm#always-on-top-maker)) to keep the Snippage window on top of other work.  All software is free and passed my Avast & Prevx virus and spyware scans with no problems.  Adobe AIR and Snippage work with Windows and Mac; Always on Top Maker is Windows only.

This screen capture video shows a Snippage window I made to display the Rfalconcam streaming main camera.  Note that the next box view stays on top when moving between browser tabs and when switching programs.

Nice tip! This will come in handy.

We already offer the ability to run our streaming video in a separate window, but as you point out, the window can't be made to stay on top. Your solution fixes that shortcoming.

Cool!  As Shaky just said, keeping the window visible is the one frustration...fixed now! Thanks! :nerd:
