in may be in length. If Screengrab can do it why can't Spectacle do same?
because a *screen* capture do what is said, capture the screen. How can it know what is there out? spectacle now nothing about Firefox
Now, I know nothing about how these things work but it seems to me that a screengrab program must look for some marker which "tells" it where the 'screen' to capture begins and where it ends. Right? Or put another way, the program looks for the marker showing the beginning of a "file" (SOF) and the end of file (EOF) and captures what is between the SOF and the EOF.
To me, something tells Spectacle to consider the EOF to be the last pixel of the displayed screen, while Screengrab! actually looks for the EOF of, say, an article when one selects the 'Complete Page' option.
No, Spectacle does not look for the end. It only sees what is displayed in the display, nothing more. It simply reads the graphic card memory, or the X representation of the same. What is beyond the display is only known to each application. Spectacle does not have permission to read each application own memory, even if it knew how to interpret it.
And to me, the description of what each of the "Capture Mode" (here: https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kdegraphics/spectacle/using.html#idm46336202... ) means may just as well been been written in Aramaic :-).
The Full Screen (All Monitors) The Current Screen The Active Window The Window Under Cursor The Rectangular Region option allows you to select a rectangular region of your desktop with your mouse They seem pretty obvious to me :-? I don't even need to read the descriptions. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
