I am looking for a screencapture + annotation tool. A puppy equivalent of shutter (ubuntu) or snagit (windows)

I recall a couple of years ago there was wink, but that does not work in puppy 525

Any recommendations?

ttuuxxx,

Thanks for this one but unfortunately it isn't what I am looking for.

A good annotation tool includes highlighters, arrows, text balloons

One way to do it in puppy is to make a screen snapshot, save it as JPG, open it in scribus, convert it to PDF and then annotate it in xournal

editing the screenshot immediately in mtpaint of GIMP would be much more straightforward, I guess it should be possible to have the tools in GIMP but they are not in the standard toolbox

Edit:

Most people do have problems with missing libexpat.so.0. This is just a link to libexpat.so.1.5.2 (in lucid 525). I have just created a link to libexpat.so.1.5.2 and then made a .pet out of the ubuntu .debs (ubuntu .debs are compatible to lucid puppy)

Hope it helps a little.

Yesss! THX!

Hey... I had not realized yet that downloading an ubuntu .deb and then deb2pet yields a puppy installable piece of software all of the time... I am definately going to do that

But then... if it is really so simple, then why are pets still needed? Why not make (lucid) puppy use the ubuntu repos and do the deb2pet conversion all automatic in the background (by a modified package manager). Just give the lucid puppy package manager the look and feel of synapic and go whoopee with it.

Mmm. I have a nagging feeling that I am a bit too christmessy with my wishes for digital presents.

I read elsewhere that Shutter has a watermarking feature.

Our daughter needs watermarking for photos & cannot find it in mtPaint.

Is there an add-on for mtPaint or is she failing to spot the feature, already there?

I am guessing that Gimp has it but that's a lot of overhead for simple photo handling.

WDYT?

okay, I pulled shutter from the package manager and now I see this:

# shutter

on puppy_precise_5.4.3

Can someone help me out with this?

Link to the sources you are trying to compile?

It's in the precise multiverse I think. The dev link is below.

http://shutter-project.org/downloads/

It has version 9 and the dependencies provided.

THANK YOU!

I add annotations on my videos with Youtube, or Windows Live Media creator. Because openshot is too versatile. But Openshot is supposed to do what you want.
