WANTED: Pet to invoke Print Screen Function key (SOLVED)

[B.K. Johnson]

@philb
My comment was about 6.0.2 and the original PrintKey pet, not PrintKey2. It did not work. As the author acknowledged, his original code depended on ffmpeg which is not in tahrpup-6.0.2, In PrintKey2, he changed the dependency to aconv and then it worked. I have it capturing a fullscreen. now.

i meant that the 'print screen' key on the keyboard should already be set up to take a screen capture in tahrpup. ...no need for a pet

[B.K. Johnson]

I don't recall PrintKey function key working in any puppy. I therefore did not expect it in tahrpup and I probably did not try it before initiating this thread. What I do know is that after installing the initial PrintKey pet in tahrpup-6.0.2, the keyboard PrintKey captured nothing.

Can someone confirm that OOTB, the PrintScreen function key in tahrpup-6.0.2 captures a fullscreen screenshot?

I can confirm it's working on 3 different computers

I don't know about tahrpup-6.0.2, but the original tahrpup-6.0CE, OOTB, with nothing added, starts PupSnap when you hit the PrtScr key. You can then click "Capture" and it immediately captures the full screen and starts mtPaint with the full-screen capture loaded.

... right there is OOTB PrintScreen function in Tahr.

if you want it back:
open:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin/defaultscreenshot 

and edit it to:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
exec mtpaint -s

@all

Apologies to the guys for having to chase down a non-existent problem. If I had seen it as a tahrpup problem I would have posted the Q in the tahrpup-6.0.2 forum where it would have received 666philb's usually prompt response. The upside is that we now have/know several solutions.

All's well that ends well. This thread is being closed..
