Thanks for any suggestions,
I just have a little script bound to the Print Screen key.
I understand you are using XFCE, within which there is a
means of binding keys through some graphical interface, I believe.
(I use openbox, so just added the binding in my rc.xml).
It took me a bit longer to understand. Well.. I copied your script and
put it into /usr/local/bin/screeny
The scrot can work great.
Just a little thing, I don't have rc.xml, seems,
$ locate rc.xml
/usr/share/mime/application/x-arc.xml
/usr/share/mime/application/x-sv4crc.xml
/usr/share/mime/text/x-adasrc.xml
/usr/share/mime/text/x-c++src.xml
/usr/share/mime/text/x-csrc.xml
/usr/share/mime/text/x-dsrc.xml
/usr/share/mime/text/x-objcsrc.xml
/usr/share/mime/text/x-svsrc.xml
The script simple does
#!/bin/bash
filedate=$(date +%m%d%y%H%M%S)
scrot $filedate.jpg
gthumb $filedate.jpg
exit
This creates a screenshot with scrot, with the filename
corresponding to the date-time (monthdayyearhourminuteseconds.jpg,
essentially), then opens it for preview in gthumb.
I have the script at /usr/local/bin/screeny
I have another script to swiftly scp it to my remote host for display,
and another to upload it to imgur, if I prefer.
Thanks,
