psnapshot application -system to edit screenshots
German French Italian and Spanish locales available
Edit: Jan 2012 ... now totally localized!!
I put together this group of apps to work together
to take a screenshot, save it in a folder
(called Screenshots) then edit it later with mtpaint
if you wish.
It is all done simply. They are just small scripts,
so there is no waste of RAM or hard disk space.
It is currently used by Exprimo and Lucid Puppy
among others.
To install: Just download and install psnapshot.
The NLS locals are for French,
Spanish and German translations. They are optional.
Here's another option that you may be interested in.
It's easy to create a one key launcher such as pressing
the 'Print Screen' key to launch the psnapshot program.
(It actually launchs 'mtpaintsnapshot.sh')
Here's how...
Find the number of the key you want to be your launcher.
A method to do this is explained here
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=68164
Once you get the key number , it's easy to set up
if the operating system hasn't reserved this key for something else.
A keystroke combination such a CTRL-shift-P
is easy to set up for JWM (Joe's Window Manager)
I explain in the posting below.
Both SVEN or Xbindkeys utility don't need the
key number to launch 'psnapshot' because
of a well written config app.
With SVEN make sure you turn off its on-screen message
(it's irritating)
SVEN is explained here
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 18&t=63158
Note: Sven or Xbindkeys has to be running to be effective!!
You can check this by typing 'top' at the terminal
So it's a very powerful but slimned-down system for
screen snapshots.
Most other attempts to do this have resulted in bloatware.
It has been localized using Zigbert's method.
