media-gfx/scrot is another good utility for that. Has a mode to |
| 24 |
interactively choose the window you want to capture (-s), too. I've got |
| 25 |
it hooked up to a bash function: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
# Add '-s' to interactively set the window to be captured. |
| 28 |
screenie() { |
| 29 |
local curdir=$(pwd) |
| 30 |
local shotname=$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M).png |
| 31 |
echo "5 seconds! Go go go!" |
| 32 |
cd ~/img/screens/comp/ |
| 33 |
scrot -d 5 -q 70 "$shotname" ${@} |
| 34 |
echo "Screen taken! Find it under ~/img/screens/comp." |
| 35 |
cd $curdir |
| 36 |
} |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
(now that I'm looking at it, it could use a spruce up to use pushd/popd |
| 39 |
instead of storing the starting dir in a variable...) |
