Description (last modified by frank) (diff)
Please add option to make screenshot of VM from GUI.
The best place to put it is: VM->Machine->Take Screenshot (just near "Take Snapshot").
Some user needs it very much, as described here: (user compares VBox to VMware) http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/virtualbox-3.html
As for me, it would make my life easier too, because now I need to use MS Paint/KDE Kolourpaint to edit screenshot, and cut all the extra window dialogs/menus/decorations.
I would appreciate it.

vote +1, I think this feature is especially useful if the guest screen resolution is larger than the host resolution...

+1 - would also want a command like VBoxManage controlvm <uuid>|<name> screendump <filename>
e.g. VBoxManage controlvm ubuntu10.04 screendump /tmp/screen20100512125955.ppm

It's just sad that this very simple feature is still missing! Virtualbox is awesome, but to wait more than one year for 5 minutes of coding is unacceptable... I will have to use VMWare until this is implemented

It is possible to take a screenshot using the VBoxManage command:
VBoxManage controlvm <machine name> screenshotpng <file.png>
