Is there a screencapture utility?
bmw...@inet.net.nz
(part of a window preferably). Is there something which will do that?
I am aware of the GNOME applet (but that doesn't seem to capture a window) and
of GIMP (which doesn't completely meet my needs either).
What bothers me is that I thought I had that ability in the woody installation
which I 'upgraded' to sarge, getting GNOME 2.x!
Thank you,
Bruce Ward

If you want a snapshot, then why not just take the show with whatever
tool is available and then cut the portion you want. If you want a
video, I think you want to get xvidcap.

Not sure about Gnome. But KDE has ksnapshot which is useful for this
purpose.

'man import'? With all this GNOME and KDE stuff, people seem to have forgotten that the X Window System already had, and continues to have, lots of functionality. I, for one, am afraid of losing it because of all the wheel-reinventing that's been going on.

GNOME 2.8 has "Take Screenshot..." right on the drop-down "Foot"
menu.
After you've taken the screenshot, edit it GIMP to pull out only
the window you want.
Now, a "windowshot" utility would be so useful...

Although you use GNOME maybe you'd like to try ksnapshot? It does what
you want.

As Kent West said, use imagemagick's 'import', it'll grab either a
random selection (click and drag a selection box), the whole screen
(import -window root outfile.jpg), or a single window (focus the window
after you run import)

I don't see a way to specify only part of a window, though.
Usually I start it from a terminal window on one desktop with a 3 to 5
second delay depending on what I want to capture, giving me the time to
switch back to the other desktop and select the window, menu, etc... so
it shows the way I want it in the screen shot.
There is also an indication that border effects can be specified, but
the possible effects are not listed by the help option and I have not
looked into this to see what effects are possible.

KSnapshot can do the screen, a window, or a selected region.

Actually import and export commands are part of imagemagik suite.
xwd IS a part or X tools, and dumps a special format that can be
converted with imagemagik's convert to anything you like.

there also exists a lightweight commandline tool called "scrot" which I found
quite usefull. It can grab the whole screen or a window (with or without
borders).

the HELP button when you click said menu item tells you how to capture a
window (and other info)... you should see info about
gnome-panel-screenshot --window --delay=N

Pressing the Help button on the GNOME 2.10 Save Screenshot dialog
box, I find this:
Alt+Print Screen Takes a screenshot of the window to which
the mouse points, and displays the Save Screenshot dialog. Use
the Save Screenshot dialog to save the screenshot.
I guess we could *all* stand to RTFM occasionally.

Hi,
If you have installed Sarge desktop by default you
have also kde installed and ksnapshot is a screen,
window capture. You have it in :
applications --> debian -->apps -->graphics -->
ksnaphot
I think there is a gnome interface also, but I used to
use this one, ( while running gnome)
best regards
