Advanced screenshots

This update adds a feature I've always wanted: advanced screenshots. Advanced screenshots can only be used on the post screen. It allows you to selected exactly what you want to include in your screenshow, giving you perfect screenshots each time. No system UI or cropping needed.

I'm going to use advanced screenshots to save memes to my meme collection. This feature will allow me to save a lot of time from the editing process as I don't need to crop or stich screenshots together anymore.

Take screenshot

Been a while since I last gave an update. I've been implementing a bunch of user requested features in the past and I think it's finally time to implement a feature that I want to use.

This feature is the advanced screenshot capture tool. I like to save memes often and a lot of times memes require context or are made even better with comments. Sometimes memes are born from the comments themselves. Sometimes the title of the post is important to the meme. What ever the situation, it's nice to have some flexibility and control over screenshots. Sometimes the comment you want to save is just too long. Sometimes images gets purged from the Lemmy instance so you don't want to just bookmark it either. Or other times you just want to share a meme as an image instead of a link.

Enter advanced screenshots. This tool allows you to select exactly what within a post you want to save and generates an image of the selected items. This gives you a huge amount of flexibility in what you want to save and how it should be presented.
