Screenshots of complete config screens recommended

[deMattin]

The idea to collect screenshots of OC GUI is really useful in some cases.
But all config screens should get a full set of the whole screen in one or more screenshots.

This way you are able to see, if there's a lack of settings, that should be there.

I actually have this problem, that I guess I have a missing setting option (max upload size) in my admin panel.
A complete screenshot of the admin panel how it should look like would help me very much in this case.

Interesting point. Yeah, I mostly use the screenshots for promo and marketing purpose, but indeed it might make sense to make 'em full. How about this - I'll try to think of it when I make screenshots for ownCloud 8.1 ;-)

Or, alternatively - help out by making those screenshots on, for example, demo.owncloud.org and make a PR ;-)

Making screenshots (with german GUI) would not be a problem if you need them and if I am sure, they are as they should be.
Starting full featured screenshots with 8.1 is ok.

But promotion? In english this wouldn't be a good idea for me and in german promotion isn't the problem, I think.
Quality is the best promotion! 😉

BTW this is an easy way to take screenshots of the whole page in Firefox:

1. Press Shift + F2. A blue developer toolbar popups:
2. Type screenshot --fullpage and press enter
3. The screenshot will be in your Downloads folder.
4. Enjoy!

Here is an example of this issue:

This is screenshot is without cropping or resizing on full HD. When making your browser window smaller, the screenshot will be smaller too. (You can even make it mobile)

@LEDfan: Try to test this with admin panel - it won't work.
I normally use a great app (webpage screenshot) in chrome for such jobs. But it failes also with OC full screenshots.

It's up to the way OC creates the scrolling screen and I don't think, there's a simple way to create full screenshots because of this.

@deMattin This is because ownCloud is more a web app than a web page.

I know and it's ok to me.
Some other projects work the same. It was my comment to LEDfan, that simmple screenshots of complete screens won't work with simple browser tools which just "scroll screen" to get a complete screenshot.
