Great idea. I tried this addon now. One limitation I see is that it's only saving single screenshot for each URL, not full page. So on a long (vertically scrolling) page only a small part is saved.
That's an interesting problem I think will all the screenshotting tools out there. If you want the full page the extension has to scroll down the page and stitch the individual pictures together. You'd think there would be a way to capture the whole page easily but it's quite the tricky problem.
Interesting. Will experiment with it and will push changes if successful. I guess the API is relatively new (Chrome 34) and I hadn't come across it, till now. Thanks!
Well, it's interesting. My main concern with capturing the entire tab as image is that the site being captured maybe one of those infinitely scrollable pages (i.e. same as the history.html page) in which case, depending on implementation, the tab may be very very long (tens of thousands of pixels in height) and 99% blank (if employing an infinite scroll mechanism that puts only the currently viewed items in the DOM)
Edit: so capturing on each scroll step (over say 3 seconds) > $('body').height()/3 and grouping the multiple screenshots under the given item is one possible way. Thanks for your thought.
Yes, I've used wkhtmltopdf for that, but I don't think it works if the page requires authentication, or you want to check what happens if you have particular cookies set.
