Take a scrolling screenshot of a long page or window
Choose an area or a window, scroll down, and ClipHearth joins everything that scrolled past into one tall picture: a long page, a chat, or a settings list.
01Click Scrolling, or give it a shortcut
Open Screenshots, the first section under Create & edit, and click the Scrolling tile. It has no shortcut out of the box, so the tile says Long pages under its name. To give it one, click None next to Scrolling under SHORTCUTS and press the keys you want; Backspace removes it again. Like the other screenshot shortcuts, it works in every program while ClipHearth runs, also when its window is closed and it sits in the tray.
02Choose what scrolls
The screen freezes under the same overlay as for any screenshot. Click the window you want, or drag over the part of it that scrolls. A frame appears around it, with a bar under it (above it when there is no room below) that says Scroll down slowly.
03Scroll down slowly
Scroll the page down the way you always do, with the mouse wheel or the touchpad. ClipHearth does not scroll for you: it takes the part again and again as it moves and joins the new rows on below, and the bar shows how large the picture has grown, in pixels. If you scroll too fast, the bar says Scroll back up a little. Scroll up until it says Scroll down slowly again, then go on. Scrolling up never adds anything twice.
04Finish
Click Done on the bar, or press the Scrolling shortcut again. Cancel throws the picture away. A picture stops growing at 32,000 pixels tall (less for a very wide area, at most 40 megapixels in all); it then finishes by itself and is kept.
05What comes out
One tall picture of everything that scrolled past. A toolbar, a header, or a footer that stays in place at the top or the bottom appears only once, at the top and at the bottom of the picture. The mouse pointer is never in a scrolling screenshot, even with Show the mouse pointer ticked, and ClipHearth's own frame and bar stay out of it too.
06Then it is a screenshot like any other
It goes where AFTER A CAPTURE says: to the clipboard, into the screenshots folder, into the small picture in the corner, or straight into the editor. In the Screenshots list it says Scrolling next to its size, so searching for Scrolling finds it. Like every screenshot, it never counts as a trial task.
07Go through a tall picture in the editor
In the editor, the mouse wheel moves along the picture, Ctrl with the wheel (⌘ on a Mac) zooms in and out, and Fit shows all of it (Ctrl+0, or ⌘0 on a Mac). Crop (C) trims the top or the end, and Blur (B) or Pixelate (X) goes over anything private. Cover private details finds and pixelates e-mails, phone numbers, card numbers, IBANs and common API keys, read on your computer. From 1.7.7 it reads small text in a tall picture too, which takes a few seconds longer. It can miss some, so check before you share.
08Where it works
On Windows, 32-bit Windows included, on macOS, and on Linux with X11. On Linux with Wayland there is no Scrolling tile: the desktop asks about every single picture, and a scrolling screenshot takes many. ClipHearth only watches the screen while you scroll and never scrolls for you, so it needs no permission beyond the one screenshots already use.
