Add a semi-interactive option (7.69 KB, patch)
2015-08-20 19:05 UTC, Matthias Clasen 		none Details | Review

Description Matthias Clasen 2015-08-20 19:05:26 UTC 
gnome-screenshot --interactive shows an option dialog before taking
the screenshot and a save dialog after. Often, what people ask for
is just the latter: A way to determine where the screenshot is stored.

This commit adds a --save-interactive option which achieves this.

How do you expect this to be used, Matthias?
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2015-08-21 13:01:52 UTC 
With this option, users can modify the "Take a screenshot" shortcut to run the

gnome-screenshot --save-interactive

command.

Hi, thi
Comment 5 Philipp Nowak 2016-11-15 08:54:10 UTC 
Hi, this change would be very useful to me because I want separate shortcuts for saving screenshots of areas, windows, and the complete screen. Currently, I have to select the capturing mode every time, which is annoying, because I already know what mode I want by which shortcut I press, but I don't have any way to tell gnome-screenshot.

Sorry about the half comment, I pressed save to add myself to the CC list and didn't realise that would post the comment immediately. I can't find a way to edit or delete it.

There area already separate shortcuts for everything:

* PrintScreen takes a screenshot of the full screen
* Alt+PrintScreen takes a screenshot of the current window
* Shift+PrintScreen takes an area screenshot
* Ctrl+(any of the above) copies screenshot to clipboard instead of saving it into xdg-pictures.
