[Bf-cycles] Output Cycles viewport preview as image/movie?

[nja59 at outlook.com]

But how can I render a 2000 frame animation like that?  If it is possible to save a screenshot, then surely it would be possible to add a function to extend this feature so Blender could save out animations, just like using the 'Open GL render animation' button?

​you can just hit space bar and type "save screenshot" (or just hit ctr+f3​)
and save your 3d preview
