How do I save an mgui window as an image?

Most graphic windows can be exported as Portable Network Graphics (png) images. To do this, right-click on the screen and click the "Snapshot.." option (if this option doesn't appear in the context menu, it hasn't yet been implemented for that type of window).

This will bring up a file chooser dialog, where you can save the image (ensure the ".png" extension is included; this is not yet automatically done my mgui).

NOTE: for 3D windows, you have to ensure that the file chooser dialog does not overlap the window (it literally takes a screenshot of that window, so if the dialog is over it, it will show up instead of the window contents beneath it).
