This is a great idea. I can see this being very useful for research and helping others with computer problems and troubleshooting.

I assume you are the developer? If so, I suggest you add a text tool, box tool, and arrow tool, because my drawing skills are crap and sometimes I just need to quickly highlight something or point something out.

If those features are implemented I could see myself using this a lot and saving myself a lot of trips to photoshop. Great Work!


Thanks for the feedback. I'll add those to the list as I've received similar requests!


"This extension can access:

Your browsing history

Your data on all websites"

...

I don't really care... but the worry is always in the back of my mind.


The permissions are required by the extension API to capture a visible tab. The extension doesn't currently track your browsing history. Always a concern of course.


Wow this is amazing!!! Only the save to png function didn't work for me.


Thanks! When you convert the capture to an image, it should appear as an image on the page where you can right click and save as. If it doesn't work I'd appreciate any details, feel free to email me. Mparke78@gmail.com


Ok that worked, but you really need to provide some progress/change indicator. It happens so fast that I can't even tell if anything happened!


Will do.
