Download Easy Screenshot

After confirming that it created a new screenshot in /home/purism/Pictures I created a desktop link for it so it was easy to launch from the desktop. To do this I created a new file called /home/purism/.local/share/applications/screenshot.desktop:
At this stage the app worked but I wondered how easy would it be to add a fancy GUI to allow the user to set the filename and choose the delay. Normally this would mean that I need to dig into some kind of desktop application development environment, but since the Librem 5 works with standard Linux command-line tools, I could take advantage of the yad tool to create a simple GUI from the command line. The yad program (Yet Another Dialog) is a fork of a similar tool called zenity that you can use to build a GUI program from a shell script. While yad is not installed by default, it was easy enough to install with a sudo apt install yad command.
2. We're pushing for this now for three reasons: First, it's the best way to verify visual attributes in Compose. Second, it makes testing for different screen sizes trivial. And third, because as of this year we can take screenshots on JVM with pretty high fidelity.
Normally, Android users can take screenshots by holding down the home button and the volume down button simultaneously. With Screenshot Easy, you can also choose where the file gets saved and its format (JPG, PNG).
In addition to these options, and depending on your Android model, Screenshot Easy also lets you activate additional shortcuts for taking screenshots. You can choose to take a screenshot by shaking your device, pressing the notification icon, or several other options.
I think k is really the best application to capture on the screen, easy, fast, with a floating icon, understandable, and also free. I congratulate the programmers for their skill, talent and apathy, f...
The Snip & Sketch tool is easier to access, share and annotate screenshots than the old Snipping Tool. It can now capture a screenshot of a window on your desktop, a surprising omission when the app was first introduced that kept us on Team Snipping Tool until recently.
The easiest way to call up Snip & Sketch is with the keyboard shortcut Windows key + Shift + S. You can also find the Snip & Sketch tool listed in the alphabetical list of apps accessed from the Start button as well as in the notification panel where it's listed as Screen snip. Or you can just search for it if you don't commit the keyboard shortcut to memory. (If you're a frequent screenshot taker, we recommend pinning the app to the taskbar.)
Either the keyboard shortcut or the notification button will dim your screen and open a tiny menu at the top of your screen that lets you choose which type of screenshot you want to take: rectangular, freeform, window or full-screen. Once you take your screenshot, it will be saved to your clipboard and show up momentarily as a notification in the lower-right corner of your screen. Click the notification to open the screenshot in the Snip & Sketch app to annotate, save or share it. (If you miss the notification, open the notification panel and you'll see it sitting there.)
If you open Snip & Sketch from the Start menu or by searching for it, it will open the Snip & Sketch window instead of the small panel at the top of the screen. From here, you need to click the New button in the upper left to initiate a screen capture and open the small panel. It's an extra step to proceed this way, but it also lets you delay a screenshot. Click the down-arrow button next to the New button to delay a snip for 3 or 10 seconds.
To capture your entire screen, tap the Print Screen (sometimes labeled PrtScn) key. Your screenshot won't be saved as a file, but it will be copied to the clipboard. You'll need to open an image editing tool (such as Microsoft Paint), paste the screenshot into the editor and save the file from there.
To capture your entire screen and automatically save the screenshot, tap the Windows key + Print Screen key. Your screen will briefly go dim to indicate you've just taken a screenshot, and the screenshot will be saved to the Pictures > Screenshots folder.
To take a quick screenshot of the active window, use the keyboard shortcut Alt + PrtScn. This will snap your currently active window and copy the screenshot to the clipboard. You'll need to open the shot in an image editor to save it.
If your computer doesn't have the PrtScn key, no worries, Microsoft has another keyboard shortcut for you. You can press Fn + Windows logo key + Space Bar to take a screenshot. It will then be saved to the Pictures > Screenshots folder.
You can use the Game bar to snap a screenshot, whether you're in the middle of playing a game or not. First, you'll need to enable the Game bar from the settings page by making sure you've toggled on Record game clips, screenshots and broadcasts using Game bar. Once enabled, hit the Windows key + G key to call up the Game bar. From here, you can click the screenshot button in the Game bar or use the default keyboard shortcut Windows key + Alt + PrtScn to snap a full-screen screenshot. To set your own Game bar screenshot keyboard shortcut, to Settings > Gaming > Game bar.
If you're rocking a Microsoft Surface device, you can use the physical (well, sort of physical) buttons to take a screenshot of your entire screen -- similar to how you would take a screenshot on any other phone or tablet. To do this, hold down the Windows Logo touch button at the bottom of your Surface screen and hit the physical volume-down button on the side of the tablet. The screen will dim briefly and the screenshot will be automatically saved to the Pictures > Screenshots folder.
With just two clicks, you can take screenshots from the active tab. You can capture a portion of the page, the visual viewport, or even the entire page if it has both vertical and horizontal scroll bars. The captured image can be saved to the default download directory, placed in the clipboard, or opened in an online paint editor. This extension currently uses JSPaint, a web-based replica of MS Paint, which can work offline and allow you to edit your images even without an internet connection.
Notes:
1. If the page size is larger than your window size and the "Capture Entire Screen" option is selected, the extension will need to scroll the entire page to capture different parts and merge them into a single image. This process may take a few seconds to complete.
2. The resolution of the taken image depends on the screen resolution. For example, if you have a 4K display (like Retina displays), the image resolution will be at least four times better than that of a normal display.
3. To ensure compatibility with various devices, this extension stores all captured screenshots in the PNG format. This format is widely supported and offers high-quality images.
4. This extension does NOT add watermarks to the captured image. It is a free and open-source project.
5. To change the format of the filenames for downloaded images, go to the options page and use the filename mask option.

My displays are color calibrated every other month or so with a hardware calibration tool. When I take a screen shot of a profile aware app, such as photoshop or lightroom or some web browsers, I don't want the screen shot to be adjusted for my monitor. Is there an easy way to do this besides my current approach:
In your case, you need to convert the screen shot to a device-independent profile like Adobe RGB, or a device-dependent but easy to play with like sRGB. You can do that in Photoshop or Preview, as long as you do convert and not assign. Removing the profile is not really helping, since the numbers will have no meaning...
Compare that with the readings when I activate other color profiles. The following Color LCD profile shows RGB(255, 253, 84) on the color meter. This was the default color profile, and although it might not be obvious on your screen, on mine it made the strong yellows look whiter, more like a banana. The worst part was that I just couldn't figure out which colors were the underlying real colors by analyzing screenshots.
If I take a screenshot when the Color LCD profile is active, the Color LCD profile is saved in the screenshot metadata. So even when I open that screenshot later when the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile is active, it's only slightly color-distorted to RGB(254, 255, 0), but some apps disregard the attached color profile, like the website photopea.com which will cause dramatically incorrect colors RGB(255, 254, 84).
So if you take a screenshot of the same image in 3 different calibrated monitors , they will look different when put together in same screen the 3 resulted images, BUT if you open them together in same Photoshop file, you will see the colors are exactly the same, as they would share same color profile.
