Firefox Snapper Addon

[Creativebot]

People often take screenshots of web pages for miscellaneous reasons - when designing a page, debugging a web application, or even for graphical reference. Usually, though, only a portion of the screenshot is actually relevant to the user's purpose, leading to a large portion of the image getting cropped. This can be time consuming, and annoying at times.

Snapper allows users to designate an area of a web page for a focused snapshot, cutting out the additional work needed for cropping unecessary information.

Better and faster than using Print Screen button, and opening up an image editing file and then cutting out what you need. And right after you click and drag over what your taking a snapshot of, it saves it!

Try it!

I had it installed on Firefox for a while now; it's really very helpful and I love it. It does get my job easier the doing print screen-paint-save as-picture-crop-save. I would really recommend it to anyone.

Interesting, to bad I don't use FF.

Yeah I have had it for awhile now too. I use it when snapping styles for preview based images for FreeForums.org and makes my life easier.

I can see how this would be extremely useful, but it's not something that's big enough to make me switch really. For now i'm fine with a shortcut to Paint (and if all else fails, I always have PS open).

Interesting though, hopefully an Opera developer can pick this idea up and roll with it.

I have added it this evening.... Haven't played with it much but it is quite good.

Had this Add-On installed for a good while now. The main problem I've encountered with the default quick-snap mode is that whilst you're dragging the area to print screen it often highlights all of the text below it, which appears on the screenshot.

To combat this, you have to put it into what's known as "Anchored Mode", where you drag the square as usual, but waits for you to double click on the selected area before taking the screen shot. This allows you to click outside of the selected area to remove the highlighting from the text.

Only thing is, after going through all of that you start to wonder if it would have been quicker to press print screen and dump it into photoshop. :shrug:

Does your browser have a blinking cursor on the page anywhere? Even if you click in any open space on a site?

Because i do not have this problem.

And I have tested it and if you do not have PS open then it takes longer.

1. Click the Tools->Options menu item.
2. Click the Advanced page.
3. Click the General tab.
4. Uncheck the Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages checkbox.
5. Click OK.
