| Very nice. Have you any plan to support other formats like PNG or GIF (oops) ?
I have no plans currently to support other formats. At the moment, if you want another format, you can use a command line tool such as the fine (and free) ImageMagick tools (www.imagemagick.org) to convert to those formats, among many others.

Absolutely. It can be run on any platform it can be compiled on, as a matter of fact.
| OTOH, it's not written, but I suppose that when it is used for remote, it's always in "listen" mode so as not to disturb any existing session, right ? But why for local it isn't in "listen" ?
It connects *once* as a shared session, grabs the screen, and then disconnects.
Listen mode is separate from disturbing existing sessions; with all VNC clients, listen mode allows the server to initiate the connection, instead of the viewer (useful for security and firewalls). This mode otherwise behaves just like normal sessions; i.e. if the viewer is not requesting a shared session it'll disconnect any existing sessions.
Note, by the way, that most VNC servers have an option to reject shared sessions when a viewer is already connected; while useful for security, this will break vncsnapshot.
