print screen

[sym]

What is available in the way of print screen software that comes fairly standard with linux distros?

Thanks

I don't know which window manager Suse installs, but, if it is kde, you may have ksnapshot in the graphics menu. If does a good job of taking snapshots of whatever is on screen. All you need to do is set the number of seconds delay you want (to give yourself time to click on the window you want to print), give it a name to save as, then click on the window you want to print. Then save it.

The two most common ways to take a screenshot are with the GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/) and with the import command (part of Image Magick). I have this command on my menu:


import -window root ~/pics/ss/`date '+%y-%m-%d'`.jpeg

Which adds an image with the file name 01-11-15.jpeg (today at least) in my /home/david/pics/ss/ directory.
