Again, taking a screen capture is nice and straightforward and bypasses all the difficulty caused by the image tiling.
Yes, but lower quality, not good enough for printing.
How / why is that? Unless the screen is running in indexed color mode (who does that outside of VNC / FreeNX / etc.?), you'll get exactly the same bits in a screen capture you get by saving the bits off the wire. These are not SVG images, after all, they're raster images.
As I said, I have done this before, but not on that site. I order by modification date of files (you can force full reload of the page so that all relevant files are recent), not by names, using "mc". Then I copy those that have a timestamp in the interesting range to a tmp dir, and run "file" on them to see what type they really are. I get the original file displayed: I can zoom on it, manipulate, whatever.
You've really got to like jigsaw puzzles to do it this way.
I'm not saying that this is the best method. I only say that it works.
Sure, but the screen capture works better. Why go to all the trouble putting the tile pieces back together?
