OK, then  "imlib2_grab" should also be working. 

Note:  Do you copy/paste examples, or type them in yourself?

It works from console (aterm) but it does not from the menu (if called without the full pathname)

the menu command is "sleep 1 && imlib2_grab screenshot_`date "+%m.%d_%H:%M:%S"`.png", so it should be in your home directory and look something like this: screenshot_04.15_23:30:39.png

it does not work for me but this it does:

Code: [Select]
exec /bin/sh -c "sleep 1 && /usr/bin/imlib2_grab screenshot_`date "+%Y%m%d%H%M%S"`.png"

adding this mod to the next cut. Thanks for the report.

It seems to work fine with no imlib extensions (thus no menu). I hotkey the script to "CA-s" 

Code: [Select]
#!/bin/ash

sleep 1 && imlib2_grab screenshot_`date "+%m.%d_%H:%M:%S"`.png

It works from aterm but it does not from desktop-menu (without path).
