Dump a png file with whatever is currently displayed in the current Grid
Layout. We can make nice pictures for Let's plays, but it currently takes some
editing with a graphic program to glue several screenshots together. This
feature would make that instantaneous.
I'd like a menu option to make a nice dump like this effortlessly:
http://tnypic.net/images/23764.png
My current procedure is as follows (and the only alternative would be playing
with virtual desktops with resolutions only partly visible on screen):
0) Run DW, DT and maximise DT window.
1) <(Alt +) Print Screen> (which works under Gnome, but works as normal Print
Screen under Windows), to make a screenshot.
2) run GIMP,
3) new image (name: Screens),
4) paste,
5) new layer from paste,
6) resize image to layers,
7) rectangular select whatever I need,
8) new image (name: DT_dump)
9) paste
a) new layer from paste
After that I move what is seen in DT, take another screenshot, and paste is as
a new layer on top of 'Screens', cut what I need, and paste it to DT_dump,
while resizing DT_dump image to fit new layers, and zooming 8 times to align
pixels perfectly. I repeat this several times, as necessary, but it is tedious,
even when I have access to 1920x1200 screen.
To do this faster I don't need a better Print Screen, or better cut tool. What
I need is either Dwaft Therapist feature for dumping image from current grid
layout, or a desktop with resolution approaching 2000 x 3000 pixels, where I
could maximize DT and see everything at once. With 120+ dwarves, it takes me 4+
screenshots per tab to piece a nice picture together.
