This is an absolutely awesome add-on, and much better than the similar one on AMO, IMO. Not only is this one much more lightweight, it isn’t full of advertising absurdities and proprietary poppycock. In the meanwhile, I know you’re busy and there’s the forthcoming Firefox 3, but could you produce a prerelease version?

Again, thanks tremendously for this amazing add-on.

I wrote “usually” because sometimes Screengrab! does not take any action after choosing ‘Save’ nor ‘Copy’ from menu. Why does this happen?

Is there any limit of size? As I;ve already said, 30000px is possible to handle, but how much exactly?

THANKS, Andy! Great tool. I use now to save my genealogical tree with your Screengrab! It’s up to 31000 pixels wide and 20000px long but usually there is no problem to save it from a non-printable HTML (too wide) to a printable image-PNG (resize/split or plotter).

THANK YOU

Andy, Thanks for the great work on this. I’ve been putting off upgrading to FF3 as my primary browser because Screengrab wouldn’t work with it!

Andy:

Ok sounds good. But I am sure that 3.0ff will not be out for a while. They may go to 4 RC’s. I would just like some sections too feature to work in the interim on the RC’s. There is some aftermarket product out there that does this will all windows programs but its is costly.

Sweet sweet screengrab! I’m waiting for this release to be available on the mozilla site. Need a updated version of this plugin to get this to work with Firefox version 3.0b5 (On Ubuntu 8.04, the Hardy Heron). I think your plugin is quite useful!

Jerry:
Thanks for the thanks. I’m working on improving it a lot now. I just discovered that there’s a windows-only extension for doing this stuff on AMO that’s more popular than mine. I’m outraged! But yes, also Nintendo DS homebrew. Do you (or anyone) want a DS implementation of a SqueezeBox (http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_squeezebox.html)

Steve:
So… Here’s the scoop.

It seems that the Firefox guys changed the rules for injecting chrome urls into pages. I just need to make that change and then I should be able to get a new version (incremented for the 3.0 final) up.

The approval for Screengrab hasn’t gone through yet, so I guess I might just skip it and do another one for the next version.
