=== if your using Firefox that is an extension called "ScrapBook" =====
 
Snagit is not freeware.

RE: url2bmp capture: When you click on "copy" it says "command line copied
to clipboard."

Then what do you do with it? I tried pasting it in Paint, then tried pasting
it in the command prompt thing--doesn't work.
I can't think of what to do next.

After you enter the url and click "go", the web page is retrieved and
displayed, and the image is automatically written to disk. If you
haven't changed the file name it will be output.bmp/png/jpg/tif
depending on which image format you have selected.

You will find the captured image as defined in 'Output Image' on your
Disk as soon as the page finished loading.

I'm using url2bmp from the command line to generate Webpage Thumbnails
- perfect tool!

Athlon,

this one is kind of off topic because it is considered Bannerware. If you
can put up with a 30 sec startup banner then this one will do what you
want and you can determine what format you want the output to be.

Its called CaptureNPrint (formerly Snap-it), below is one of its many
features>

WebScroller - captures web pages that scroll off the bottom of your
screen. It will scroll IE 4 or above and Netscape 3 or above. I am working
on a version that will scroll any browsers or applications with scrollbars.

Mike,

do you use it? If so, does it scroll to get pages that are off the
screen? I don't see any mention of it on the home page of "ScrapBook".
Would be nice if it did.

I use it and I think it's a wonderful extension to archive web pages and add
notes to them, but id doesn't make "screenshots": it only saves webpages to
read and edit them offline.

Ciao,
 
Thanks, but what about dynamic content? And if I type something into a
form, I want to be able to take a screen shot that includes what I typed.
So is there any "SnagIt-style" freeware that actually takes a screen shot?

I have not seen any freeware that will do the scrolling
trick....MWSnap is a fine substiture for 'most' screen capture, but
scrolling seems to be a problem
 
Hy,
Why not use Firefox, then do File | save page As | Web, complete ?

because there is a difference between a screen capture and a
html file (even with all images saved at the same time). He wants
one picture with what is seen in browser window. This can be needed
for documentation (to help users for example) or things like that.

I used URL2BMP, but you must guess the size of the resulting bitmap
and I found no way how to login into a restricted site. I should
try "CaptureNPrint" again ;-)

Regards,
Thorsten
