That's not what the software does that I linked to. It creates the images on your pc and then lets you upload them to your server.I wrote code that did that years ago, and required human intervention. Apparently now firefox allows you to read the screen buffer and capture/save it as evidenced by two (at least) separate plug ins that let you capture/save parts of the screen. I knew something like that would have to happen, so maybe there is a way to automate it further. The script I wrote in response to the thumbshotter system required perl on a Windows machine, and used the MSIE window for screen capture, then save, but because of all the various scripts/etc on pages, some pages hung. Not easy to do. But maybe in the past 2 years FireFox allows access to the screen buffer, and that would solve huge problems (eg: access to a bitmap after it had been rendered).

As for why I always reply to you, it's mainly because you are pretty much the only person that posts here and you are charging people for your code. So as a Perl programmer myself I like to scope out the competition, but without meaning to be rude, I can only assume the people that pay for your services know very little about what they are buying because it is poorly written and buggy. The infinite release of updates to your plugins supports that. I think you also pluck your prices out of the air too as they have no relation to the quality or usefulness of the plugin. Looking through your old posts you seem to have been making the same coding errors for years. I think it would be worth your while to go on a programming course to re-learn the basics or at least spend some time brushing up your knowledge so you can offer some quality products.It's easy to criticize. And Andy has held the fort down here very well for a long time. If you can do better, do it, don't talk about it. Prove it. I'm sure everyone would like high quality free plugins with round-the-clock support and regular upgrades.
