This isn't as helpful, but I've taken advantage of a second monitor in cases like this. It's vertical so I can usually grab a lot more in the single screenshot.
You could temporarily flip your screen sideways if that helps, but again this is an annoying workaround to something that could have an easy solution
So I am not the only one doing that? Good to know.
I was hoping for a better solution from someone else, it's insane that this is the best we can do!
Same :(
I don't know how well this fits your usecase, but you can use DiscordChatExporter to export your messages to local files
Installation is pretty tiresome if you don't have the packages you need to run it. I feel like Chrome extensions can get the job done relatively easily.
Try the singlefile firefox addon. It will save the page to a single HTML file that you can open in other devices too. Usually you'll be able to scroll back quite a few messages in the saved page. I think that depends on how much you scroll back to load them
unfortunately, didn't work for me. Singlefile is absolutely awesome, I use it for many things but singlefile ain't for this :(
May I ask what was the problem? A few weeks ago I tried to save messages this way, and (to my surprise) it worked fine.
worked fine
for normal html sites, it would just download the whole page, and it works here too. But it downloads the whole chat while I just want a copy of last ten messages
I see, it downloads too much.
You could try the "save selection function.
Or with the "annotate and save page" function, if in the annotation editor tab you click "enable/disable removing of internal elements", I think you could try deleting any messages that's not needed.
You don't want to just save the text? It sounds like it's just text information you want to save, so why not just save it into notes files, then you have the bonus of being able to search them
I've been resizing my webpage rendering view size in the Firefox web page view of Discord -> F12 on keyboard -> little phone icon in the title bar of the popup menu -> there's a bar at the top of the screen with a full-view screenshot button and some display resolution settings. Make sure DPR is 1.
on my phone, scrollshot works okay with the Discord Android app.
