Grab a screen shot with Ubiquity
It would be nice with a simple command like "take screen shot" and then it grabs a shot of the whole webpage and save it to the desktop.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?One likely "workaround" would be to create a javascript event for Ubitquity that interfaces with a screen shot addon such as "Web Shots" https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire...
Might be what your looking for.
As far as I know, ubiquity is a tool to initiate other services/actions. It does not provide the actions itself. A simple platform for psuedo command line tools. -
Inappropriate?I think that Ubiquity has the ability to do screenshots of the Firefox window with CmdUtils.getWindowSnapshot(). If someone gives it a try, please report back here. -
Inappropriate?See http://www.watersheep.org/~markh/screengrab.html - a ubiquity script that takes screen shots.
FYI bugmenot, only the preview uses the cmdutils function, since at present getWindowSnapshot only captures the top of the page.

Inappropriate?For some reason, screengrab to clipboard doesn't work for me, only screengrab-to-file works. I get the notification, but the clipboard is empty. -
Inappropriate?Timofei the 'to clipboard' screenshots can only paste into Firefox text areas, such as webmail emails. Have you tried using it and pasting into GMail? -
Inappropriate?We often need to take screenshots of a page and then cut out some part of it.
It would be great if if we can have a command that can capture the screenshot and open it in a default image editing application like paint.
I have created a command (http://gist.github.com/21319) that opens MS Paint application in Windows XP. But something that can put the screen shot there automatically will save a lot of time.
