Its a little program that shipped with KDE. No use whatsoever, but man is it sweet! I get to see tux dancing arround my my xterm.

As soon as I figure out how to take a screenshot, I'm doing it. =)

Use KSnapshot? or import.
Yea... just start up 50 AMORs

Good idea!

I used that for awhile, but it got really old really fast.

The easiest way to screenshot is to run:
import -window root <filename>.png

If that doesn't work, install ImageMagick

KSnapshot is easier than that

Also: The Gimp -> File -> Acquire -> Screenshot

By the time you've run a program, I already have my screenshot.. I don't see how it could be faster.

Windowskey-R import -window root picture.png

Takes about 2 seconds to type. And I can do it from anywhere at any time, without touching my mouse. Very fast.

We're not talking about speed, we're talking about simplicity

I still think it's easiest, too. All you need to do is remember 3 simple words

Ergot · « **Reply #8 on:** September 25, 2005, 06:21:04 pm »

Or you could just click KSnapshot

I think typing out the command is easier

I don't see how KSnapshot could possibly be easier than import.

You could just type import file.jpg

Ergot · « **Reply #12 on:** September 29, 2005, 06:26:09 pm »

KSnapshot can do single window/Full screen and a delay with clicks of the mouse.
Please do that with import with consulting man pages, --help, google, or any other user. (If you already know, stfu

That's *way* more involved than import.

Which is why input loses. =p

Hmm... now that I think about it... import might be easier if KDE wasn't shipped with the distro...

AMOR does get boring quickly.

iago · « **Reply #18 on:** September 29, 2005, 10:34:10 pm »

btw, to take a snapshot of a window:
import -window [title]
Or the full screen:
import -window root

not very difficult!

Ergot · « **Reply #19 on:** September 29, 2005, 10:40:29 pm »

Now do it with a delay of 5 seconds!
