Ben, this is exactly what I'm talking about. Using the auto-crop feature is so useful when including pictures in scholarly works, etc. That's actually what I was working on before it crashed.

Have any other ideas?

I'm not sure what you mean by "PNG capture", whether it's PNG
generation from LP using --png, or screen capture using the
Mac equivalent of scrot, or something else entirely (I don't
use Fresco).

Would the scrot-style approach be a suitable workaround?
(I don't know whether MacOS is sufficiently unix-like to
actually run scrot.)

Cheers,

I'm not an OSX person, but isn't there a feature where you can just take a screenshot of the display from within the system itself? I'd be surprised if that didn't exist. (think: printscreen / https://www.itg.ias.edu/content/keyboard-shortcuts-capture-screen-shot-mac-os-x )

Once you had that screenshot, you could at least use a software to crop, annotate, etc. - as a workaround right?

i..e on Windows, Irfanview, Greenshot, etc.
