We’re proud to announce a new precision feature in Your Rapport that gives researchers, archivists, and online investigators more control than ever before: the ability to right-click and collect any single image from a web page using a context menu action.
This enhancement brings streamlined, one-click image acquisition into your workflow—no more full-page saves, screen captures, or cluttered downloads. Just right-click on the image you need, choose “Collect with Your Rapport”, and it’s securely added to your local archive, ready for annotation and analysis.
Why This Matters for Researchers and Archivists
In open-source intelligence (OSINT), digital preservation, and online research, a single image can carry investigative weight. Being able to surgically extract and preserve exactly what you need is a game-changer. Here’s how this new feature unlocks value in the field:
1. Selective Visual Collection Without the Noise
Web pages today are packed with ads, banners, and unnecessary visuals. If you’re only interested in a subject’s photo, a signature, or a specific diagram, you can now collect just that one image—no need to store an entire page or crop manually later.
2. Tracking Changes and Visual Evidence Over Time
Need to document how a company logo, social profile picture, or infographic changes over weeks or months? Right-click collection allows you to build precise visual timelines—one image at a time—with verifiable metadata stored alongside each item.
3. Referencing Visual Sources with Integrity
Your Rapport preserves the image’s URL, MIME type, timestamp, and cryptographic hash—ensuring you have a verifiable trail of where and when the image was collected. This is ideal for citing sources in reports, research papers, or investigative audits.
4. Fast, Targeted Field Collection
Whether you’re on a limited connection or conducting live research, the ability to quickly collect only the relevant image speeds up your workflow and minimizes bandwidth usage. No more waiting for full-page tools to load or scroll.
How It Works
Once you’ve updated to the latest version of Your Rapport:
- Right-click on any image in your browser.
- Choose “Collect Image” from the context menu.
- The image is added to your local archive, with metadata like URL, file type, and timestamp.
- From there, you can tag, organize, annotate, and enrich the image as part of your ongoing investigation.
This context menu tool works alongside all other collection tools in Your Rapport: MHTML page saving, scroll-based screenshotting, auto-collection pipelines, and plugin-driven enrichment workflows.
Designed for Structured, Secure Archiving
Each image collected this way is:
- Stored locally
- Hash-verified and timestamped.
- Associated with a “Rapport” (your workspace for each investigation).
- Immediately available for annotation, keyword tagging, cross-referencing, and plugin analysis.
In other words, it’s not just an image—it’s a structured artifact in your broader intelligence process.
Looking Ahead
Coming enhancements may include:
- Smart auto-tagging of images based on context or source.
- Batch visual collection from selected regions or galleries.
- Plugin integration to trigger analysis automatically (OCR, reverse image search, EXIF metadata inspection, and more).
And as always: Your Rapport remains local-first, open-source, and fully yours. No telemetry. No forced sync. No cloud dependencies.
