Subject description: a fast screenshot tool		  
basically this is a script that uses scrot to create screenshots
the default scrot save names are very long so this script changes the screenshot names to xxxx.png



first create the "images" folder in the root folder
place this script in /usr/bin/scrot-x, don't forget to chmod +x it
scrot-x
Code:
#! /bin/bash
number=`sed -n "17 p" "$0"`
keep=$number
delay=0$1
if [ $delay -lt 1 ];
then
delay=0
fi
len=${#number}
while [ $len -lt 4 ];
do
number=0$number
len=$(($len+1))
done
scrot $number'.png' -d $delay -e 'mv $f ~/images/ & viewnior ~/images/$f' | sed -i "17s/$keep/$(($keep + 1))/" /usr/bin/scrot-x
exit
1


to bind it to your print screenshot key first check which key matches your Print screenshot button

type this in a terminal
Code:
xev | gawk '/keycode/{if($0!=l)printf "0x%x\n",$4;l=$0;}'

and press Print Screen to see what you get

mine was 0x6f

so now i can add the key bindings to my rc.xml

Print screen for instant screenshot or alt+print screen for screenshot in 5 seconds (you can change to how many seconds you want)
in my case, it was
Code:
    <keybind key="0x6f">
      <action name="Execute">
        <execute>scrot-x</execute>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="A-0x6f">
      <action name="Execute">
        <execute>scrot-x 5</execute>
      </action>
    </keybind>


after you added the new keybindings type in a terminal
Code:
openbox -- reconfigure

and the print screen button should work creating fast screenshots without any messy interface

questions / feedback highly appreciated
