This might be useful for several purposes including documentation and verification. The graphical user interface displays all elements on one screen. The user can select a single or multiple websites at the top and define the file output format. This requires some explanation as time and date variables have to be added to avoid overwriting previous screenshots. Both date and time variables can be combined in the filename directly. All parameters are explained on the programs homepage, here are two examples for a better understanding:

• c:\%date:MMyyyy%\ghacks.pg – creates a month and year folder and saves the screenshot there.
• c:\%time:HHmm%ghacks.jpg – creates a filename in the format hourminuteghacks.jpg

The better part of the interface is occupied with several options. The program allows to define the width and height of the web browser and whether scrollbars, JavaScript or Flash should be disabled. The size of the (simulated) web browser can be automatically extended if the website turns out to be larger than the size defined in the interface.

Finally part of the screenshot can be cut of automatically as well. A click on the start button will take one screenshot of the website and save it in the selected folder. Enabling the “Take a screenshot of this web page every” allows to capture the screen every x seconds, minutes or hours.

The command line parameters come in handy for usage in batch scripts, file launchers or in situations where no graphical user interface can be loaded.
