No ability to hide the dock icon in the desktop version yet? :(
Nevermind, great update. Are you using the same API that Pastebot uses for backgrounding?
Thanks! No, unfortunately hiding dock did not made this round :(
I am sure guys at tapbots use same API.
Thanks for the update. It would be nice if your Chrome extension would support contextual menu clipping and sending.
@Mark, Thank you! Yes, support for contextual menus will be added to chrome extension in the near future. Stay tuned!
