Dear all,
I'm looking for a screen capture program for inclusion into puppy. I need a simple, fast and memory intensive capture utility. Mpaint is there but I'm not so impressed with it. I know there is shutterbug but can it capture a selected region as well as full screen ? where can I get the shuterbug? It is not available at the foxtool's site. any suggestion / feedback is welcome.
thanks and regards

Shutterbug can easily capture just a section of screen. Just drag and resize the box over whatever you want.I know there is shutterbug but can it capture a selected region as well as full screen ? where can I get the shuterbug?
Shutterbug is part of a library system of small utilities which is needed to run the XFileExplorer.
http://puppyfiles.org/dotpupsde/dotpups ... Vector.pup
"This dotpup includes:
- shutterbug (create screenshots)
- Adie (Texteditor)
- Fox-calculator."
I don't know about configuring shutterbug, but I know even less about ksnapshot. What is it exactly that you're wanting the app to do, apart from taking snapshots?
See this thread, where I've uploaded scrot:

It's a commandline screencapture program, & needs libgiblib & Imlib2 installed. The output from scrot -h gives:

It's a commandline screencapture program, & needs libgiblib & Imlib2 installed. The output from scrot -h gives:
Code: Select all
# scrot -h
Usage : scrot [OPTIONS]... [FILE]
Where FILE is the target file for the screenshot.
If FILE is not specified, a date-stamped file will be dropped in the
current directory.
See man scrot for more details
-h, --help display this help and exit
-v, --version output version information and exit
-b, --border When selecting a window, grab wm border too
-c, --count show a countdown before taking the shot
-d, --delay NUM wait NUM seconds before taking a shot
-e, --exec APP run APP on the resulting screenshot
-q, --quality NUM Image quality (1-100) high value means
high size, low compression. Default: 75.
For lossless compression formats, like png,
low quality means high compression.
-m, --multidisp For multiple heads, grab shot from each
and join them together.
-s, --select interactively choose a window or rectnagle
with the mouse
-t, --thumb NUM generate thumbnail too. NUM is the percentage
of the original size for the thumbnail to be,
or the geometry in percent, e.g. 50x60 or 80x20.
SPECIAL STRINGS
Both the --exec and filename parameters can take format specifiers
that are expanded by scrot when encountered.
There are two types of format specifier. Characters preceded by a '%'
are interpretted by strftime(2). See man strftime for examples.
These options may be used to refer to the current date and time.
The second kind are internal to scrot and are prefixed by '$'
The following specifiers are recognised:
$f image path/filename (ignored when used in the filename)
$m thumbnail path/filename
$n image name (ignored when used in the filename)
$s image size (bytes) (ignored when used in the filename)
$p image pixel size
$w image width
$h image height
$t image format
$$ prints a literal '$'
\n prints a newline (ignored when used in the filename)
Example:
scrot '%Y-%m-%d_$wx$h_scrot.png' -e 'mv $f ~/images/shots/'
Creates a file called something like 2000-10-30_2560x1024_scrot.png
and moves it to your images directory.
