xfce4-screenshooter
Introduction
The Xfce4-screenshooter is an application that can be used to take snapshots of your desktop screen.
This application allows you to capture the entire screen, the active window or a selected region. You can set the delay that elapses before the screenshot is taken and the action that will be done with the screenshot: save it to a PNG file, copy it to the clipboard, open it using another application, or host it on Imgur, a free online image hosting service.
This manual describes how you can use Xfce4-screenshooter, and how you can configure it to your preferences.
Screenshooter
- Using the application – Make screenshots with the application interface or the command-line
- Using the Xfce panel plugin – How to add and configure the panel plugin
Debugging Support
xfce4-screenshooter currently supports three different levels of debugging support, which can be setup using the configure flag `–enable-debug` (check the output of `configure –help`):
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| `yes` | This is the default for Git snapshot builds. It adds all kinds of checks to the code, and is therefore likely to run slower. Use this for development of xfce4-screenshooter and locating bugs in xfce4-screenshooter. |
| `minimum` | This is the default for release builds. This is the recommended behaviour. |
| `no` | Disables all sanity checks. Don't use this unless you know exactly what you do. |

You can set the delay that elapses before the screenshot is taken and the action that will be done with the screenshot: save it to a PNG file, copy it to the clipboard, open it using another application, or host it on imgur.com. A plugin for the Xfce panel is also available. Website: <a href="https://docs.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-screenshooter/start">https://docs.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-screenshooter/start</a> Release notes for 1.10.5 ======================== Note for packagers: This release is the first step to remove "Host on Imgur" as a built-in action. Please note a custom action was added providing a similar replacement. This means: - For the time being Imgur will be supported in two ways. - The shipped script contains dependencies, namely: curl, jq, zenity and xclip. - At your discretion, patch the script accordingly your distribution particularities or set "/imgur-custom-action-added=TRUE" during the package installation via xfconf to prevent the custom action creation. - At the end of the day, I believe it's up to users to keep using Imgur or modify the action to suit their needs. It's also fine if distributions decide to ship custom actions appropriate to their audience.
