Hi Vladimir, thanks for suggestions! :) Yes...in this case the task to accomplish is more important, than the way to do it! :) I didn't know, that even imagemagick is able to shoot screens. ;) My "dream" of a screenshot generator would be something of the features and functionality of "Greenshot" -- unfortunately it is windows only -- and I dont want windows.
