Application similiar to ksnapshot (making screenshots)
Does anybody know any application similiar to ksnaphot, where I can make a screenshot using a console command (or how to make it with ksnapshot, --help doesnt say anything like that) ? If you know, please reply this thread, it's very important for me.

With ksnapshot, click ksnapshot and the dialogue window opens with a thumbnail of the desktop. Change your options and click 'save as'. Then call your snapshot something and save it.
|
I said that I want an application, which can make a snapshot by a console command.
|
few examples http://sps.nus.edu.sg/~marimuth/linu...n_capture.html without ksnapshot
|
what's it mean?
you can run ksnapshot from a terminal typing # ksnapshot I dont understand ur request |
I want to make screenshot using console command, not run an application
|
Are you talking about a command that majke an snapshot?
I never hear about it |
follow the link i posted above, lots of people for those you don't know don't have/use gimp or kde or gnome, but they do take screenshots with other graphic programs or from the command line...
|
AFAUK, there aren't any command line screenshot programs (unless you count running the gui snapshot program via the command line). I would say that reason for this is that it was never considered a necessary function - why take a screenshot of the command line when copy/paste would work.
Screenshots are more likely to be a gui function. Maybe is you explained why you need to do it this way, we could provide more meaningful answers. |
This is ignorance...

display -version Code:
Version: ImageMagick 5.5.7 12/23/03 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org From the terminal, type Code:
import -window root screenshot.png If you don't have ImageMagick installed, and don't want to go through the hassle of installing it, use xwd. Xwd(X Window Dump) is a part of XFree86, so if you have GUI, you have xwd. From a terminal type Code:
xwd -root -out screen.dmp |
There's also fbdump if what you're looking for requires being in console
|
i can see where this is useful. All you have to do now is bind it to a button (like Print Screen) and walla, you've got a great tool by your side.

However, quite apart from the fact that I said "as far as I know", I still can't see the need to take a snaphot of the command line. |

Aaah, now I get it.
Why not just create a keyboard binding, so that with a couple of keypresses, ksnaphot (or whatever) opens? Because the 2 steps are still there - open a console and then type in whatever is needed. In fact, that's several keypresses. Using ksnapshot as an example: click the K, hover over Graphics, hover over More Programs (on my box) and click ksnapshot. Then click the relevant button. Or am I splitting hairs? :) |
