Is there a clipboard copy for saving screen shots?
Thanks

Menu>Graphic>Take a Shot does that automatically saving it to /root but leaving it's GUI open so you can edit or delete. You can, of course, move the screenshot, or use TAS's GUI to select a default directory other than /root.
Take a gif does what it says. Both are very accomplished applications. You can use Menu>JWMDesk>Launch to place launchers on your Panel(s). Menu>JWMDesk>Options, put a check in the Accessory Tray button to create a 2ns Panel.
Make use of `PrintScrren` button on keyboard.
(1)
Press `PrintScrren` & paste clipboard memory copy to GIMP as new image.
(2)
Use mtPaint utility.
vi ~/.jwm/jwmrc-personal
append hotkey:
Code: Select all
<Key keycode="111">exec:fullScreenShot.sh</Key>
vi /usr/local/bin/fullScreenShot.sh
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
mtpaint -s
<CTL> P
Also makes a print screen.
Several of those also allow selecting a region
Is there any way to select a menu selection area to capture when you look for a menu item?
Like
<Menu> <Graphic> <pull down Items in it>
This is really great!
Thanks
It looks like the only way to get a screen copy of the menu, is to select Fullscreen. I suppose the resultant picture could then be edited to just show the menu part.
Thanks

Are you using TAS?
Do you ONLY want the desktop's Menu?
If so, Yes as you surmise:
PrntScrn to TAS window
Set the timer
Click 'Fullscreen'
"Take A Shot" button
mouse-click desktop Menu
wait for time expiration
edit the result in MtPaint removing all except the Menu portion of the picture.
That's what I experienced.
It works. The apps are very powerful to give what a person can use. Puppy Linux has some very useful utilities. I have a lot to learn.
It's great!!
Thanks
Set the timer
Click 'Fullscreen'
In TAS . Instead of fullscreen you can also choose "Region" and select the region around the menu space, then within the time delay you have selected (e.g. 5 sec) , raise the menu.
As you seem to prefer Keyboard Shortcuts to GUIs in some instances, you might want to do a psearch, https://rockedge.org/psearch/ on the phrase "keyboard shortcuts" to see how Puppies implement them.
