I have set up a desktop function that does a screenshot via import (from image magick); but that doesn't allow me controls like delays, and it saves to a file which I then have to open in gimp as a separate step (and remember to delete later). I use it for quickie "show someone on bugzilla or IRC what I'm seeing" snaps but not for the important ones. For what it's worth, every time I see the question "How do I make a screenshot?" posed on a beginner/intermediate Linux list, the answer always ends up being GIMP. It's still the best method that's not dependent on users running specific versions of specific desktops. -- ...Akkana "Beginning GIMP: From Novice to Professional": http://gimpbook.com _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
