    Default Google Chrome Extension to capture whole web page as image

    Hi,
    We are developing a Google Chrome Extension to capture whole web page as image.
    Most of the available Extensions will open a tab/window on the click of a button,where they are showing the captured web page as image(in new html page).And are telling to right click on the image ,select the option
    'save image as' & save it.

    e.g.
    extension to capture web page-only visible part
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    https://chrome.google.com/extensions...npfdcphkbgogdj
    extension to capture web page completely
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    https://chrome.google.com/extensions...hgiakhnjcddpki

    But we want on click of our button to open a 'Savefiledialog' where directly save the present web page as
    image. Does anybody have any idea?
    Please provide help.
    Thanks.

    Maybe with an NPAPI plugin? But I wouldn't know how.

    Could definately do it with an NPAPI if you knew what you where doing.....which I dont, which is why I asked Orbit Download Managers makers if they could make one for their download manager (they allready integrate with chrome using an NPAPI so surely they could do it).....

    ....perfect would be something in the extension api, but that would do me in the meantime just fine (ODM is good once you turn a couple of features off)
