Existing users, 
There seems to have been some major steps back in functionality for this app.
You now have to drag URL to a small, non-expandable window [or the dock item] before you can start downloading a website [the Safari button does not appear, as it used to with Red Snapper]. Apparently, there is a workaround, but I shouldn't need to worry about it.
It no longer downloads webpages that have any sort of password access, which it used to do. This makes it pretty pointless for the use of downloading all but the most common webpages. OmniWeb does the job, Red Snapper used to do the job, printing the page from Safari does the job.
If you download more than 10 webpages, you get hit with an 'Upgrade to Pro version' message, which costs nearly 3 times the [ordinary] Web Snapper price. There's no mention of this Pro version anywhere, and no explanation of what it can do, and no normal way of buying it.
Come on TastyApps, get yer arse in gear !!
At this rate, I've got few reasons to use Web Snapper in preference to Paparazzi or OmniWeb or just print pages.

Actually it *does* all those things... and it *does* have a Safari button...We have received some reports of the plugin *not* working on certain builds of Leopard.
In most cases its a simple matter of upgrading your version of SIMBL. We have added the latest build of SIMBL to our site, here:
http://download.tastyapps.com/SIMBL-0.8.2.zip
Using this method you can capture secure pages, various states of Flash, Javascript menus etc.
If you get a chance please modify your post - it's deterring people from trying Web Snapper - less support means the less i can work on it....

Red Snapper vs Web Snapper - jimmymtl
While I loved the Red Snapper plug-in, it's not Tasty App's fault that Apple disabled the plug-in architecture in Leopard. It's kind of like taking off your shoes at the airport - arguing only makes it worse :-)That said, web snapper still works, just not as elegantly (there's an extra step to save the document from the other window).
Web Snapper is accessible by keystroke.
Web Snapper does capture pages that use cached session info (I don't know how - but my library references are working just fine and they don't in Yojimbo without a second log in).
I wouldn't call it an upgrade to Red Snapper - more of a cross grade. The multipage PDFs are sort-of interesting, but I haven't found an easy way to grab my URLs without other stuff and I don't know if Web Snapper is smart enough to skip the junk and get the rest. Further testing will show.
For now, I'm content to keep using Web Snapper because it makes wonderful single page grabs of my web pages - PNGs for those in graphics, and PDF for those with lots of exciting text.
