how to make screenshot?

[nickispeaki]

and where is it?

[Jason W]

On the menu, Tools -> Screenshot.

i know it! But where are my screenshot pics?

nickispeaki: I wondered the same thing.  I could not find where Menu | Tools | Screenshot dumps data (if anyplace).     Maybe someone can enlighten us.   

However, I've found I can open a terminal and enter:

   imlib2_grab {myfilename.jpg}

Also, .png works.   That's how I made the screen grabs of my picture viewer app in action in another thread.

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"

Isn't 'usr/bin' in PATH?

Isn't 'usr/bin' in PATH?

Yes, it is. Aterm says:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

`sleep 1 && imlib2_grab screenshot_`date "+%m.%d_%H:%M:%S"`.png should work.  (you just included the path....shouldn't be necessary.   

[Roberto A. Foglietta]

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

I does not work with out the path! 

[jpeters]

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

I does not work with out the path! 

What if you type "whoami"  ?

note: if you get anything profound, you may need an exorcism

I am using Tinycore 1.2, here you are:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ whoami
tc
tc@box:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

OK, then  "imlib2_grab" should also be working. 

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