Description Alan Horkan 2005-04-26 15:52:11 UTC
i spend far too much time taking screenshots and creating mockups in glade and
it would be a huge help if Glade had something like  
"File, Export..."
which would pop a Save As... Dialog and allow to save as PNG/JPEG or any other
gdkpixbuf supported image format (but PNG is the most important format for me).  

It is a pain to have to open a whole other great big program just to take a
screenshot of the current window, so I hope you can see how useful a feature
like this could be.  

If you also provided a way to access this functionalty from the command line it
could also be very useful for projects that want to generate up to date
screenshots of their software on a regularly basis for their documentation or
website (and do so in an automatic way, integrated with their build system).  

I hope I have explained clearly enough but I think this feature could save me
huge amounts of time and make my use of glade much more efficient and enjoyable.

moving this request against glade 3 since presumably that is where any new development will occur (and congrat's on getting Glade 3 released)
Comment 2 Vincent Geddes 2007-06-16 21:02:11 UTC
This proposed feature certainly sounds like it would add value for users. It would also be very possible and easy to implement once offscreen window support is added to GTK+ 2.12.
Comment 3 Tristan Van Berkom 2013-05-20 07:29:22 UTC
This has been implemented as a feature of the previewer... to create a screenshot
from a glade file:

glade-previewer -f file.glade --screenshot file.png
