Dikk!
From Forklift Wiki
|
| Welcome to the wiki page of the first implementation of telepathy on the Mac
Dikk! is a small application that sends an instant screenshots of your computer screen to the other users on your local Bonjour network. Effectively, you can just shout 'Hey! Check this out!' to the people in the room and show them on their screens exactly what you're looking at, at the press of a button. Install and run Dikk! on all the Macs in the room that you want to send and receive Dikk! screenshots. The app detects each running copy in the room, identifying everybody using their user account data.
Once you've launched it, Dikk! will run in the background, apparent only in the Dock and the menu bar.

Sending
F1 - send capture of active window to everybody on the network
F2 - send capture of active window to selected users
On pressing F2, Dikk! pops up a list of all the people available on the network, and you can select individual or multiple recipients. The shortcuts can be redefined in Preferences

Incoming screenshots are displayed in a full-screen viewer. When first receiving a transmission from someone, you are prompted to accept or decline transmissions from the user. If you do not want to be disturbed for a while, you can turn on Silent mode in Preferences, and have all incoming screenshots sent straight to History, without displaying them on the screen.
