Dimitris,
Yes some time ago it was possible to copy single pane as image.
But since then I have received hundreds of requests
to change this to copy all panes into single image.
Since I changed it a couple of months ago, no one
asked me to reverse changes, you are the very first person
who asks for this.
I guess there is no chance to win here :-)
(the only thing I can do for you is to provide this option
back in some future release)
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
