Screengrab 0.96 is so close…
Screengrab, releases March 2nd, 2009
It’s just pending AMO approval (as usual). As soon as its out, you should get an auto-update from them so please don’t ask me for it early!
This one doesn’t add too many new features – you’ll have to wait for the next release for that.
What I’ve done for 0.96 is completely gut the innards of Screengrab and then present the old interface over the top. But in doing so, I’ve fixed some things…
Fixed in 0.92
- Pages that didn’t capture in full, now should (unless they’re really long – still not fixed that)
Flash and Java should always capture automatically now as long as you have Java installed. - You no longer need to pick Java or Canvas modes – Screengrab now does a grab with canvas and then fills in Flash and Applets by grabbing them in Java mode. It’s the best of both worlds and you don’t have to lift a finger.
- Copying to the clipboard should now be MUCH more reliable. Pasting from it should also be significantly more successful and work in all programs (I hope).
There’s now a few options available in about:config for those who can’t wait for a release with real changes to the preferences panel. The ones people care about are…
extensions.screengrab.useJavaIfAvailable
Set this to false if you never want to use Java. If you’re one of those people who hates it for some irrational reason then go nuts and turn off the most useful feature in this extension.
extensions.screengrab.showIconInStatusBar
Set this to false to get rid of the icon in the status bar.
extensions.screengrab.showInContextMenu
Set this to false to get rid of the menu in the right-click context menu.
extensions.screengrab.jpgImageQuality default:75%
Use this to specify a value for jpg quality. Up to 100 should work fine.
Very soon my pretties Screengrab will be awesome and I’ll retake the crown of most awesome web page capturing tool thing from those young upstarts who came on the scene later than me and did a good job!
Damn them all to hell…

Excellent work! You added everything that was requested! I promise I never installed one of those other cheap whores because I knew you would “retake the crown of most awesome web page capturing tool thing from those young upstarts who came on the scene later than me and did a good job!”
Lots-o-
