Ubuntu – Screenshot Tools to Capture Scrolling Windows

screenshotsoftware-recommendation

As the title of the Question states, I want to know what are the tools available for Ubuntu which would allow me to take screenshots of "Scrolling Windows" ie; tall webpages, tall nautilus window which contains lots of files and folders etc. as a single image file.

For the sake of clarity, I have already seen this question. However, I am specifically looking for tools to capture Scrolling Windows.

As an example, my personal favorite for Microsoft Windows is DuckCapture. It's light on resources and helps me take beautiful screenshots. Is there anything close to it available for Ubuntu?

If you're using Firefox you can use the dev console to capture a screeshot of an entire web page. Use Shift+F2 to open the dev console. The basic command for capturing an entire webpage looks like this: 

screenshot fileName --fullpage

Which will save a screenshot of the entire webpage as fileName.png in your Downloads folder. This will be huge and some photo viewers can't handle it, but it has good quality. If you'd rather copy the screenshot to your clipboard you can use this command: 

screenshot --clipboard --fullpage

You can also set a delay (in seconds): 

screenshot fileName --delay seconds --fullpage
