Don't know about JWM, but in Openbox, you'd only need to install scrot and add this to rc.xml
Code: Select all
<keybind key="Print">
<action name="Execute">
<command>scrot screen-%Y%m%d%H%M%S.png</command>
</action>
</keybind>
Just tried in JWM: it is built in (and/or pre-configured)!
see very last lines of $HOME/.jwm/jwmrc-personal:
Code: Select all
<Key keycode="111">exec:screeny</Key>
</JWM>
Maybe we should change it to point to a new /usr/local/bin/
defaultscreenshot

Thank you L18L!
Added to NLS, see the first post.
Good idea, since there are so many of them floating around.
Greetings!

I have put TAS-modified in
Right click menu utility
I found a bug ?? in TAS. I couldn't save to a FAT32 USB stick,
unless I switched off the date feature. FAT32 needs hyphens in date.
I made a small change to script.
I added a line to check for FAT32 USB sticks
Code: Select all
[ $DATESTAMP = true ] && check_disk
Code: Select all
check_disk () { # if FAT32 disk then colon is changed
fdisk -l > /tmp/fdisk.tmp$$
DISK=`cat /tmp/fdisk.tmp$$ | grep "/dev" | grep "FAT." | cut -f 1 -d ' '`
echo "$DISK" > /tmp/fdisk.tmp$$ # note that there may be several USB sticks
sed -i 's%/dev%/mnt%g' /tmp/fdisk.tmp$$ # substitute dev for mnt
grep -q "$DIRECTORY" /tmp/fdisk.tmp$$ # check for DIRECTORY on the line
if [ "$?" = "0" ];then
SAVENAME="$SAVENAME""_`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S`"
else
SAVENAME="$SAVENAME""_`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S`"
fi
rm -f /tmp/fdisk.tmp$$
}
The above code wasn't enough because several USB sticks might
be mounted so I had to make a loop.

Hey Don
Thanks for reporting this! Well, it's obviously a bug, or at least an oversight.
Actually, I decided to completely remove those colons, since there's also
a problem with uploading a file, that has a colon in its name, here on the forums.
Now it's just
%H%M%S.
First post updated!
Greetings!

Just in case it helps anyone troubleshooting their prtsc key there is some great background from npierce here:

Version 1.4:
- output formats: removed - TGA, PCX, PPM; added - GIF
- added options to take sequence of snapshots
- 'Add datestamp' checkbox now adds only date
- new checkbox 'Add timestamp'
- program icon changed (/usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons/mini-camera.xpm)
- lots of minor fixes
Now, a bit about the new 'sequence' feature.
When you select any of output formats except GIF, then if "Number of frames" is greater than 1, a subfolder will be created in which the sequence of snapshots will be saved.
In case of GIF, the result is already assembled animation.
'Number of frames' can be 1-999
'Frames per second' can be 1-10
So (see the first screenshot) having 250 frames and 10 fps we get 250/10=25 seconds of animation if it's GIF (see the second screenshot) or 250 "loose" images if it's PNG/JPG/BMP/TIF.
Just take seriously the built-in warning regarding huge GIFs - if it's too big, an attempt to view it in image viewer may lock up the system!
The new version was tested only on Slacko-5.7, so heads up about behaviuor in other Puplets are welcomed!
First post updated!
Have fun &
Greetings!

gifsicle --optimize=3 does that.
Unoptimized takes ~3.5M.
Btw, if
gifsicle is present, optimization is applied automatically.

@SFR, Thanks for this update. I was hoping for such a tool to automate what we, as testors, do to support the developers of Puppy distros.
You have made our job so much easier with this update. We can now begin providing more meaningful pictures of what we want others to see.
THANKS!!!!!

Ok, thanks for the info.
I just checked TAS vs. Wary in VBox - the problem was with PIX_FMT, which was set to pal8 for GIF.
Now for all formats it's just rgb24, like it was before.
Try
tas-1.5, should be ok now.

Thanks works a treat, an option to loop the gif would be nice, maybe even scale the image.
gifsicle works great at reducing the size, the original gif was 46.1 MB, down to 205.4 kB.
Code: Select all
ffmpeg -s $(xrandr | awk '/, current /{ gsub(/\,/,""); print $8"x"$10}') -f x11grab -r 10 -i :0.0 -b 500k -pix_fmt rgb24 -y -loop_output 0 -vf scale=640:480 output.gif
Code: Select all
gifsicle -V -i --optimize=3 --conserve-memory < /root/output.gif > /root/output2.gif
