automated screen caps
|
|
|
| Hi,
I'm trying to automate the process of taking screen caps of my Linux desktop
(more specifically of web browser windows, so if there was an application
for taking screen caps of URLs, even better).
Imager (Perl) and ImageMagick doesn't seem to offer this feature, and
ksnapshot doesn't appear to offer automation. GIMP/Script Fu, might be a
possibility, but I haven't found anything on screen captures yet...
Cheers,
Pete

I'm not sure how you would do it from a script, but gimp does screen
captures at:
File -> Acquire -> Screen Shot...
Which leads to a dialog where you can choose various options.
Since pretty much everything is scriptable in the gimp, someone may know
how to do it.

Can't you use the [Print Screen ] key to pop up the Save Screen Shot
utility ?
( or use [ Alt - Print Screen ] for the active window )

and ImageMagick (including the convert utility) understands xwd files.

Where did you get that idea?? Almost all kde apps are TOTALLY automatable.
Start ksnapshot and then start kdcop. It will show all your running apps and
the interfaces they offer.
These can then be run by any programming or scripting language including
from a shell script or the command line.
You could quite easily write a script that gives a list of urls to Konqueror
and then snaps a picture of each url.
