Great idea for a central index for these utils.

But don't forget to add T.A.S - been my favourite for a long time.

Thanks GG,
Forgot about that one.

IIRC, 01micko developed the script for using mtpaint's snapshot capability. I think I packaged it as a pet with a desktop file so that I could use it in a taskbar launcher.

The GUI provides four choices for delaying taking a snapshot of your desktop: Now, 2 sec., 5 secs, 10 secs. A snapshot of your entire desktop is taken and opened in mtpaint where you can use all of its capabilities. If you want to preserve only a portion of the screenshot, you 'lasso' the part you want.

Jamesbond's Xscreenshot is very good also. It comes with Fatdog64.

Snapall was a gtk2 program I compiled many many time ago, it will be worth to investigate how statically compile for puppy without gtk2

I remember also

Scrot
https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/how ... ith-scrot/

That I heavily used. It depends from imlib2. I should have a binary compiled with very old gcc 4.1.2 in puppy 3.01

or cli

Code: Select all

sleep 3 && mtpaint -s & exit

[MochiMoppel]

...or GUI with "enhanced user experience"

Code: Select all

for i in 'Shoot‎ the ‎screen ‎after '{5..1}' sec' Fire\!;do echo XXX;echo $i;echo XXX;read -t1;done|Xdialog -but text -can 'Oh no!!' -info '' 220x80 0 && mtpaint -s

Can be run from the command line or script, but I put it directly into my JWM config file as a <Key> tag and assigned shortcut Ctrl+PrintScrn to it. No need for a script file. Requires Xdialog.

You forgot the gtk-screenshot

Is there a trick to NOT capturing the terminal into which one has entered this command ?

[MochiMoppel]

@greengeek Sure. This will prevent the terminal window from being captured:

Code: Select all

for i in 'Shoot‎ the ‎screen ‎after '{5..1}' sec' Fire\!;do echo XXX;echo $i;echo XXX;read -t1;done|Xdialog -but text -can 'Oh no!!' -info '' 220x80 0 && { mtpaint -s & exit ;}

[greengeek]

Thanks, that works perfectly.
Both options would be valuable. Is there any easy way to build a choice into the dialog?
(yes, i know i'm a pain. According to my wife that's my most defining personal characteristic...)

[mikewalsh]

And don't forget Micko's "Screeny":-

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 1bee4d7d2f

Works well with most older Pups; needs xwd. Can be temperemental with newer Pups, though.....can produce a "skew-wiff" shot, b & w, angled to one side. No idea what the cause of this might be...

I can see your wife's point
No, there is no easy way. In fact there is no way at all with Xdialog. Maybe yad can do that.
Why would you want to capture the terminal window and why would you want to use the command line at all? Self torture?

That's astonishing, mate. A screenshot utility from a 2-series Puppy that works in a current 8-series....

It runs fine in radky's Busterpup8.0 (32-bit)..! Amazing...

Here's @JakeSFRs tas 1.15 combined with an imgur uploader from here https://github.com/tremby/imgur.sh

Flameshot is a pretty good app. Can be found in our PPM's for an easy download.

[mikewalsh]

Flameshot is a pretty good app. Can be found in our PPM's for an easy download.

I guess I've tried most of the available screeny apps over the last several years. I tried Flameshot; it was, um.....o-kay (-ish). I found an AppImage over at AppImageHub, made up a tray icon launcher for it, stuck it in /opt,and launched it at boot from /root/Startup.

Apart from TAS - which is a masterpiece of lightweight coding - my current favourite is the KDE Project's KSnip.....a combo screenshot/editor app, rather like Hotshots. Only to MY mind, more logically laid-out & easier to understand than Hotshots....and also in AppImage format.

It's also one of the very few KDE apps I've come across that doesn't look like it was designed by a talented, yet 'backward' child. I don't know what it is about KDE stuff; apart from the last 2 or 3 years, most of the GUIs for their apps have always had a slightly "cartoonish" aspect to them. It's hard to explain; maybe it's just me!

Aside from that, both AppImages are the same size, around 23 MB (both use Qt5, so there's 90% of the reason for the size right there.) But KSnip has an easier-to-understand interface; I've always had the greatest difficulty in figuring out what all those various blobs around the perimeter of Flameshot's 'area/region' window are supposed to do.....

@mikewalsh Thanks for the info(re Ksnip); I'll dl and check it out.

[mikewalsh]

@tosim :-

@mikewalsh Thanks for the info(re Ksnip); I'll dl and check it out.

I think I've got a package at MEGA....which I uploaded, yet I don't think I've posted about it. Let's see.....

Yep; here we are:-

https://mega.nz/folder/SOBTxSRD#9zZKeMhkGMleW2TTE57ZtA

I remember now. I didn't bother adding any of the usual MenuEntry scripts'n'stuff, 'cos this thing puts its own icon into the notification area. Just click on it, and it's there, ready-to-use. The only thing I added was a small script in /root/my-applications/bin, linked to /root/Startup to launch it at boot-time.

Your Pup fires up....and it's there in the tray, ready to go. Same as Flameshot, IIRC....

Let me know what you think. You can edit the picture by adding arrows....numbers....text....all sorts of stuff. Quite useful, really. I don't suppose it's so different to all the other screeny apps out there, but it's rare to find KDE apps that don't want the whole of the Plasma desktop AND the Dolphin file-manager before they'll condescend to run. By KDE standards, this one is like a greyhound.....positively slim-line.

Mike.

[tosim]

@mikewalsh Thank you. Got it; checked it out; really good! Thanks again.

[mow9902]

Thanks for this - works great! I personally find it easier to use than the many alternatives.
