Wrtingawillsnap

In case something funny is happening on your computer, a simple way to capture and share this is by taking a screenshot. However, doing so with the default set of tools can be rather time consuming, but there are tons of applications like Wrtingawillsnap to make the process easier, this one being dedicated to capturing web pages.

It takes little time and effort to get the application running on your computer. When it runs, the main window shows up, with a large table that stores related info to the process you put in motion, showing links to the target page, the URL, as well as the process status. You can either manually write down each page you want to capture, or load an existing list, which can be a plain text file.

To save even some more time and effort, the application comes with its own browser, which is accessed from the dedicated tab. However, it’s not quite updated with today’s browsing techniques, and might not properly display all types of content.

By default, all pictures are saved in the application source directory, but this can easily be changed with the browse dialog for save path. Apart from destination, you also need to configure the quality and type of picture to save. This is done by writing down values for browser width, height, as well as size specifications for the generated thumbnail.

Pictures are saved under formats like JPG, GIF, or PNG, with a quality slider, as well as name algorithm to use, making it easier to identify later on. Once the list of URLs is configured, you can initiate the process, with the application grabbing and saving snapshots of their current status. Unfortunately, it uses the built-in browser for layout capture, and modern content is not properly shown.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Wrtingawillsnap comes with good intentions, letting you gram snapshots of any web page. You can easily import or create a list of multiple target pages, and configure the type, size, and quality of pictures to save. There’s also a built-in browser, which is used as a layout source, but might leave more to be desired in this regard.
