Title: AMOR: Amusing Misuse of Resources
Post by: Joe on September 25, 2005, 02:37:22 AM
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. =)

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 ;D
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 ;D.

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

Or you could just click KSnapshot ;D

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

You could just type import file.jpg (http://67.82.16.160:420/ss.jpg)

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 :( You're a Linux geek.)

That's *way* more involved than import.

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

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

not very difficult!

Now do it with a delay of 5 seconds!
