Fork from https://github.com/simov/screenshot-capture
A lightweight extension to capture a full screenshot of a webpage and save it along with some metadata to a datastore.
- Only works on Google's Chrome Browser
- Other extensions migth interfere with its functionality. If things do not work, disable extensions to find if that is the issue and notify me of the problem.
- Does not upload captures to a remote datastore yet.
- UX and code are a work in progress.
- Capture Viewport
- Save (automatic save)
- Preserve or downscale screenshot size on HDPI displays like Retina
- Unique screenshot date/time file name
- Save screenshots in PNG file format
- No special permissions required
- Open Source
- Introducing 'Snappy' the sarcasticly sazzy UX mascot!
Until there is a version at the Chrome Store, you have to manually install the extension on your browser. To install the extension:
- Go to the 'More Tools -> Extensions' menu on Chrome's 'ellipsis' menu on the upper right.
- Make sure to check the 'Developer Mode' checkbox
- Click on the 'Load Unpacked Extension' button
- Navigate to the directory where you downloaded or cloned the project.
- If you see a new entry with the title 'UX Snap' in the list of extensions, you are done!
Once installed, a 'teal' camera icon appears on Chrome's omnibar. To use the extension:
- Click on the UX Snap icon.
- (A popup will appear)
- Complete the fields on the popup.
- Click the 'Submit' button.
- (the browser migt ask you for permission to download multiple files) Give the browser permission to download multiple files.
- (if sucessful, the browser saved two files that capture a screenshot in .png format, and metadata in .json format)
- Share those files with you trusty UX practitioner.
