You have been subscribed to a public bug:
By pressing "Print" a screenshot of the whole desktop gets taken. But I would
prefer if I could always choose the area of the screenshot by hand. By calling
"gnome-screenshot --area" from commandline you can select the area.
So I went into System -> Shortcuts (? have a German layout) and deactivated
the shortcut "print" for taking a screenshot.
Now I added a new shortcut with the command: "gnome-screenshot --area" and
assigned the "print" key to it. (Theoretically I am done at this point)
But if I press the print key a screenshot of the whole screen gets
taken. And there was NO area selection. If I change the command from "--
area" to "--interactive", then by pressing the "print" key the property
window pops up (if i select there the checkbox area-selection I can
choose the area). Assigning "gnome-screenshot --area" to a different
key/ or combination of keys has the same result - the area selection
never shows up. (The interactive mode always works)
Do I miss something or did I found a bug? And can anyone tell me if
there is a fix?
As a workaround I tried putting the command into a script and then
calling the script per shortcut with the same result: the area selection
never shows up, (the interactive mode does).
I am using
Ubuntu 9.10 with kernel 2.6.31-20-generic (without compiz or any desktop
effects)
