…has been going into that screen grab extension.
Honestly!! People are never happy!
Frames, better error handling, why Java, configuration!!!

It’s unbelievable! For a little while I thought frames would elude me (I HATE poring over the DOM trying to find the EXACT element hiding within some esoteric little nothing) but I’ve sorted that now.

Screen grab! 0.5 is out!
You can now grab frames, there is support for French speakers (thank you Jean-Bernard Marcon!!) and I have moved the 3 options for grabbing under a submenu.

To come in 0.6: Better error messages, more locales, (hopefully) a fix for the context menu being snapped on Fedora. Probably some configuration options wouldn’t go astray too.

screengrab = Very nice extension !!
Do you think it could be scriptable, i.e. I give it a bunch of URLs with javascript or such and it would load each one, take a snap, save it and go on to the next one ?

FYI, It snaps the context menu using Ubuntu as well. Maybe a linux thing?

I would say that you should be able to script it pretty easily. You’d need to take a look at the code, but the overlay javascript exposes a few simple functions. It shouldn’t be too hard to rely on them, if you can do the rest of the scripting.
