If you run Linux (or maybe some other unices), try this quick 'n dirty script. For grabbing the whole screen: xwd -root | xwdtopnm 2> /dev/null | pnmtopng 2> /dev/null > /home/buffalo/graphics/screenshots/screen_`date +%Y%m%d%H%M_%S`.png For grabbing a window (it'll give you a crosshair): xwd | xwdtopnm 2> /dev/null | pnmtopng 2> /dev/null > /home/buffalo/graphics/screenshots/screen_`date +%Y%m%d%H%M_%S`.png 0. Make sure you have the 'netpbm' package installed 1. Copy line (above) into its own file 2. chmod 755 filename 3. place it in your ~/bin folder or a global bin folder 4. make sure you have a directory called ~/graphics/screenshots 5. map both files to a keyboard shortcut via your window manager Done. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
