Screenshot of KDE4 'window thumbnails' - how?
in [Suse]
|
From: Dave Royal on 3 Aug 2010 06:51 In 11.3 KDE4 if I poke the curser into the top left hand corner of the screen I get thumbnails of all the windows and can select one. I want to take a screenshot of the display in that state; how? I've tried sleep 5; import -window root screenshot1.png but that doesn't work. Not 'root' perhaps - something else? TIA Dave -- (Remove any numerics from my email address.)

Ksnapshot ... press "Print Screen" key. -- Ducharme's Axiom: If you view your problem closely enough you will recognize yourself as part of the problem. <<< Remove YOURSHOES to email me >>>

This does not work automatically like I sort of remember it did before. You can go: System Settings > Shortcuts and Gestures ....then do a quick custom key to launch Ksnapshot when the Print Screen is pressed. Worked for me. |
