Hi,

There is a snapshot feature (Recording menu -> Take Snapshot; keyboard shortcut F3 or just plain 3 if you are running with -devicekeys), but that will not immediately exit either.

You could also have a look at the visual test tool (in tests/auto/declarative/qmlvisual/) -- it has a -recordsnapshot mode that will immediately exit (but that generates some additional files as well as the snapshot).
