    GIMP makes crappy screenshots

Whenever I try to make a screenshot, using GIMP 1.3(the only way in SuSE9
Prof. right?) the bar below - the kicker - turns out all black on the
screenshot.

Why? Have anyone tried this before, and have a workaround?

I no longer have Gimp 1.3, but I do have Gimp pre 2.0 which is almost the same thing. My screen capture works fine. If you are going to use the latest version instead of version 1.2.5 then go to there site and get the newest version. It does most things but scanning is disabled. I scan and save using 1.2.5 but I edit my pics in pre2.0. The menues are slightly different so I prefer to learn where everything is now so I am better prepared for when the real version 2.0 comes out. Hope this helps even though you also have ksnapshot, Stacy

It should be included in the package kdegraphics that comes with SuSE 8.2. Install this one. HTH, Frank

Use Ksnapshot. It works. The only thing I do not like about is that PNGs are saved with too little compression. -j -- Linux install party in La Paz, Bolivia <http://weblog.janus.dk/archives/2002/10/19/000184.html>

You're right! Thanks! I can start it manually, but didn't see it in any menu, therefore I didn't know it existed. Greets, Derk

Same here. I've been looking for hours to find an rpm to install. I
couldn't figure out why kdegraphics3 was supposed to provide it and yet
couldn't find it in the menus. :-(
