Screenshot to clipboard problem

Post by recobayu »

Hi Phil,
I try to install gnome-screenshot and xfce4-screenshoter using ppm. I often use copy area of screenshot to clipboard using xfce4-screenshoter -rc or gnome-screenshot -ac (the shortcut key is shift+ctrl+print) then i paste in my libreoffice. But in fossapup64 i don't see the paste image. Is there another way to do that?
Thank You.

Pressing the prnt-scrn key should pop up mtpaint with a screenshot ready to be edited and/or saved.
You could select an area to crop (menu - Image - Crop or press shift+ctrl+X).
You could scale the image (menu - Image - Scale Canvas or press pgup).
You can save the image (menu - File - Save As or press ctrl+S).

Or you can run Take A Shot (Puppy menu - Graphics, Take A Shot)
You can choose to take a screenshot of a window, then click the take-a-shot button, then click the window you want to take a screenshot of.

hi @recobayu

hotshots in quickpet is a nice screenshot tool and can crop areas, annotate, upload and also copy to the clipboard after which ctrl v will paste into libreoffice.

you may also like copyq clipboard manager from the PPM as it shows copied images
