Hi Vladimir, |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
thanks for suggestions! :) |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Yes...in this case the task to accomplish is more important, than |
| 57 |
the way to do it! :) |
| 58 |

I didn't know, that even imagemagick is able to shoot screens. ;) |

|
| 61 |
My "dream" of a screenshot generator would be something of the |
| 62 |

| 63 |
is windows only -- and I dont want windows. |
| 64 |
