Creating image from webpage

Hi everyone,

I tried to load an image of a webpage in GIMP by using File > Create > from Webpage. But it doesn't work.

And it seems I am not alone: http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5920

(same here: no matter which page I try to load I get just a grey loooong "empty" picture)

I am using GIMP 2.8.4 under Win8.

In my Mac-Version the command is not even there.

Are there plans to "repair" this? Or does it work in your versions?

Thanks Tina

Known, see
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690277

If and when this will be fixed depends largely on whether and when someone finds the root cause for the problem.

HTH,

Meanwhile, there's a cross platform Firefox extension, Easy Screen Shot, that does the job nicely: It "just works," saving a 96 dpi png file of the currently displayed page, at full length & width independent of the current browser viewport.

Including an (x)html rendering engine in the GIMP seems like overkill to me, but as long as there already is one it would be nice if someone fixed it.

:o)

Wow, I didn't even know this functionality existed! :) I just tried it on Ubuntu 13.04 Linux (64-bit) with GIMP 2.8.4 and I was able to load www.gimp.org just fine and www.apple.com just fine. www.thx.com didn't load at all, for whatever reason. In the thread you cited, another Windows user did indicate the function worked for them (post #9). Since they are using an older version of GIMP, maybe something regressed.

Peace...
