Snagit accessories are a great productivity booster. Take a screenshot and push it to applications (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, MindManager), Web services (like Flickr) or Blog platforms in a click.
However I hit a snag while setting up a new machine. The accessories are downloaded as a package and installed from your local drive by double clicking. However this didn’t work for me as the browser had renamed the file extension from .snagacc to plain old .zip.
The solution was easy to find on the Techsmith forum:
Cannot get Snagit outputs/accessories to install - techsmith.custhelp.com
I get a zip file but I click on it and open it - but it does not install.
Some browsers change the extension from .snagacc to .zip - when this happens they will not immediately install. If you right-click on the download and choose the rename option, you can change the extension from .zip to .snagacc - and then you should be able to double-click on the download to proceed with the installation into Snagit.
