Hi everyone, Does anyone know of a solution that will work with Rails that can capture remote screen shots of website a.k.a Magnolia, DZone etc?

A good thumbnailer will let you set the dimensions to very large, for a screen shot not a thumbnail. May I ask if you are acceptance testing that target website? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi there Philip, Thanks for the info. These looks promising: http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Ruby/GtkMozEmbed http://mirko.lilik.it/Ruby-GNOME2/moz-snapshooter.rb Regarding acceptance testing, so you mean the websites that I want to capture or the website doing the capturing?

Ain''t that too heavy? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi Philip, I am guessing it must be the mozilla engine. I saw another one that uses webkit but it seems that the server needs to run the Mac OS.
