Bug#941069: /usr/bin/mate-screenshot: mate-screenshot should have option to not show Save dialog
Package: mate-utils
Version: 1.22.1-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/mate-screenshot
I think when using screenshot by pressing PrtSc key, or Alt+PrtSc, as well when
using mate-screenshot from command line, there should be an option to bypass the
Save dialog, and automatically write the file in last selected directory and with
last selected format. If there is a name clash (i.e. the file already exists, due
to print screen pressed multiple times), just append an extra prefix with
microseconds or something).
When starting mate-screenshot from the Menu -> Applications -> Accessories ->
Take Screenshot, the Save dialog could be left, as it as is, as usually one might
need to Cancel / retake the screenshot if the options were not quite right.
Similarly the option to include a mouse cursos or not, should be remembered when
using mate-screenshot from the menu, and respected when using PrtSc.
