  • HotShots

    Hotshots is a screenshot tool with some editing features. It is particularly suitable for writing documentation (as used in the following chapters) but you can use it to highlight some details on a map image or what ever you want. Because HotShots is written with Qt, it runs on Windows and Linux (MacOSX isn't tested yet). Why this name, Hotshots ? Firstly, I'm a fan of Jim Abrahams's film and my second choice was Screen'n Shot but I'm not sure the pun will be perenne.

  • Full Page Screen Capture

    I built a Chrome Extension that allows you to save a screenshot of an entire webpage as an image—including what’s below the fold. That’s the only feature, nothing more. I wanted this tool but every similar app that I tried in the Chrome Webstore couldn’t do it right. It’s open source (on github) and malware free. Just a few clicks from the chrome webstore (it’s free) and you should be ready to go—try out the full page screen capture extension.
