The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.I use this module now for my website and I just recognized that there is no refresh solution for the snapshots. I just think that no website is static and changes occur from time to time nt they will never take place because it's static. My question is now will there any attempts to update the snapshots?
I think this is really important and shouldn't be ignored.

lightsurge commentedI may be wrong but I thought this module fetched screenshots live unless you use imagecache?
So really, the problem is not with this module but with imagecache for not providing the ability to expire and delete imagecache images after a given period of time.
This would be easy enough to do with a scheduled job, but I'm really surprised there's not the facility within imagecache. So I think I'll post a feature request there.

broncomania commentedYeah this sounds great. I didn't know that this is a imagecache issue.

puravida commentedLooks like imagecache closed as "won't fix" and said, "Good idea for an external module."
Sorry but the 6.x branch is no longer -technically- supported with so few using it. So, I will take this on for the 7.x (and future) branch.
To be specific, if you "just" expire a screenshot image and get it again from the chosen screenshot service, it may or may not be current (could be an old, outdated capture). "Refreshing a Screenshot" is a special type of request that must be sent to whichever service is capturing the screenshots. Once re-captured, the screenshot may be downloaded and repace the existing screenshot.
So we will likely call it "Refresh Screenshots" and have a set number of days between refreshes. After X days, we will send the refresh request and download the refreshed screenshot.
