screen capture of region

[bryand...@gmail.com]

is it possible/planned to constrain screen capture to a user-selectable region of the screen?

Do you want window/tab sharing, or do you really just want a screen region?

Yes, I need the option to capture a user specified region of the screen (single application Window) or the entire desktop.  In the case of multi-monitor displays, preferably a single monitor as opposed to the union.

Basically the functionality you get by entering: screencapture -i foo.png on the OS X command line.

I am aware of the tabCapture extension interface, and I plan to use this feature also.

We have no plans to support region capture at this time. Capture of individual tabs, windows and desktops is what we plan to focus on instead.

Windows would be even better than regions.  I'm assuming that you mean arbitrary application windows, not necessarily browser windows.  

On Windows-OS it is possible to query windows belonging to other applications and get their location on screen.  On Mac-OS I believe you cannot do the same thing from an unprivileged application.

You can do even on mac os.
