Title: Local Screenshot Script
Post by: mimeca on August 13, 2005, 02:36:54 pm

Hi

I have develop a script with similar similar to scap. It takes a screenshot (with fbgrab) and stores it on local folder. Script has .desktop file asociated and it appears on GPE menu near Online screenshot. I haven't build an ipkg package.

Options:
- Ask user his / her native language and create two different folders:
 ~/Images/Screenshots/    with english language
 ~/Imagenes/Capturas/     with spanish language
- That questions only is asked one time, next times it takes the correct folder
- After push on "local screenshot" item, it takes a screenshot after 5 seconds and stores it on selected folder. Name is composed with date and hour.

Do you want some aditional feature? Do you have some suggestion?

I will upload script after check some options next week.

Great work, mimeca! Works fine.

Only remembering that fbgrab isn't installed by default on OZ, you should install it prior to running the script

That's true. Users should install fbgrab before    If you have some sugestion with the script, write an reply
