Explanation

#16 Post by gposil »

Maybe a few words about how shot works...

Click the Print Screen key and dialog will pop up asking you for full screen shot or just a window only...

If you select Full screen a snapshot of the screen will be saved to your /my-documents folder with file name as a time stamp(jpg format).

If you select Window only, you just click on the window you want a snapshot of and again it will be saved as per full screen.

Hope that explains it... :)

Let me know if you want the facility to change image format or any other suggestions.

gposil, thanks for the excellent screen capture utility

I am using it on turbopup alpa3 with success today

a query, no options dialogue box appears when you press the printscreen button

what you get is a a small message box saying screen shot done

regards

ps, i also noticed graphic menu with turbo pup has an entry called mtpaint snapshot-screen capture

shot-0.1.2.pet

#21 Post by Peter444 »

Hi gposil, reporting back as promised a bit slow but i had to wait for the powerlines to thaw out before i could start today

dragging shot-0.1 to the desktop in turbopup enables the window/screen capture option and both work from this icon instead of the printscreen keyboard button

also confirm shot-0.1.2 works as designed in ttuuxxx 4.2v2 puppy from the printscreen keyboard button

thanks for your help

Getting a screenshot is *so* easy using mtpaint.

At the command prompt I type

sleep 5s ; mtpaint -s

The 5 seconds I use to focus to the window I am interested in ;-)

just wondering if you could add a third option, something like 'select area to capture' which allows you to capture an arbitrary rectangle on the screen by click-n-dragging

also, if you're looking for enhancement ideas, there's an excellent freeware app called mwsnap (http://www.mirekw.com/winfreeware/mwsnap.html) - but notice the win in the winfreeware directory - that comes in at around 640ks. poke around there for an idea or two :-)
