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.

mtpaintsnapshot-2.014.pet

sleep 3 && mtpaint -s & exit

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.

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...)

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.

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.....

Mike.

@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.

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

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