I wrote a front end for the imlib2_grab utility that lets you use your mouse to select the section of your screen you want
to save. Here is a shot that shows part of my screen outlined:
(http://i60.tinypic.com/20gblt5.png)
And this is the output:
(http://i61.tinypic.com/25g4gt1.png)
The program is relatively compact at 4541 bytes. Packaged with an icon it fits in an 8K tcz.
It's only dependencies are:
tc@box:~/guilib/grabber$ ldd grabber
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb770e000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xb75ff000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb74f4000)
libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXau.so.6 (0xb74f1000)
libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXdmcp.so.6 (0xb74eb000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb74e7000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb770f000)which imlib2_grab requires anyway.
Operation is straightforward. Start it from the command line or click the icon. Outline a section of the screen by holding
the left mouse button and dragging. Hit 's' to save. Repeat as required. Hit 'q' to quit. Files are saved with the following
naming format:

I decided to do a little more work on the program. I removed the imlib2_grab dependency in favor of linking to libImlib2
directly. Also added a coordinates window that displays the origin, width, and height of the selected area:
(http://i62.tinypic.com/11ht1lv.png)
Sorry the above picture is a little blurry, the picture hosting site rescaled it.. This shows the selected area:
(http://i57.tinypic.com/5ugspd.png)
I've also added a keyboard interface to allow fine tuning of the selected areas size and location and added a configuration
file. Details in the attached files below. The extension has been submitted for TC3 and TC4, though I do believe it will
also run under TC5 and TC6 which I indicated when I submitted it. The only difference being TC5 and TC6 have an imlib2.tcz
dependency since it was removed from base, though its version number is unchanged.

will i still use some image viewer like xzgv, gimp v2, etc. ?

Hi Stone.Giant

If you wish to view the file(s) you saved, yes. The program only saves the section of the screen you selected as a .png file.
It does not open files for viewing.

I already have imlib2_grab but not working. What else do I need?
seed@avocado:/$ imlib2_grab
Usage: imlib2_grab [-v] [-id <drawable id>] [-width <width>] [-height <height>] [-noshape] <output file>

Hi Stone.Giant
You have to wait until the grabber extension I sent in gets added to the repository. Then you can install it.

Why u didn't say so :-)
-
The grabber extension has been added to the TC3 and TC4 repositories.
If someone running TC5 or TC6 would be willing to test to verify it runs under those versions it would be appreciated. For TC5
and TC6 you will also need imlib2.tcz

Hi beroje
Glad you like it. Thank you for confirming it runs under TC5.

Hi nitram
Under TC4 running flwm_topside the program runs perfectly, so I installed fluxbox and saw the behavior you described where the
screen appears to shift up and the user panel at the top of the screen shows up twice. I also noticed each time the n key was
pressed to invoke another instance of grabber, the screen would shift down. It seems the window manager is a bit grabby with
my window and ignored my polite request for size, position, and placement on the display stack. So I made some changes and
ask the window manager in a firmer tone of voice to keep it's mitts off my window. The above problems both seem to be resolved.
I will PM you a link to download the new version of grabber.tcz to try out.
-
Hi Rich. Just tested, works well in TC6 using Fluxbox. The screen stepping behaviour totally eliminated. I performed several next invocations and still no wierd screen shift.
Something else. When i tested your original grabber.tcz a .png file was saved to home directory and double-clicking the file in Fluff properly opened the image in Firefox. With this version, the image gets sent to a new Firefox tab but the image does not load with the following error:
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (grabber-2015jun30-15) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.
The default .png save is something like:
grabber-2015Jun30-15:47:54.png
When i eliminate colons and underscores then Firefox opens the image without complaint:
grabber2015Jun30154754.png
I did, however, forget to delete my old grabber.conf file. I will purge the old config file and retest upon rebooting later today. Did something get changed with the naming nomenclature? Note: Opening the .png image through Firefox (Firefox > file > openfile), just not via double-click Fluff. Strange. Will update again later.
-
Sorry i was hurried earlier. Removed old grabber.conf and rebooted, reloaded new grabber, new config, works well. Same Firefox issue as above. Really a Firefox issue but would be nice to open the .png file across any application without hassle. Try to keep my installs simple so Firefox is used as a rarely needed image viewer.
The .png images open perfectly in Firefox via Fluff double-click when the colons are replaced in the default filename:
grabber-2015Jun30-16:35:30.png ---> not work
grabber-2015Jun30-16C35C30.png ---> works
In addition to saveprefix=grabber in grabber.conf, would you consider changing the default or providing an option to save the time format as something like grabber-2015Jun30-163530.png?

No, the format did not change.
Come to think of it, when using tab completion on one of those file names, the colons wind up being escaped with a backslash.
OK, colons will be removed as will be the leading dash. The default filename will look like:
YYYYmonthDD-HHMMSS.pngFour digit year, three character month, two digit day, dash, six digit time stamp in 24 hour format.
If you still have IceWm loaded, I'd appreciate if you could test grabber with that.
I'll PM you a link with the revised version.
-
Hi Rich. Just re-tested latest grabber using IceWM. Absolutely perfect! One slick bit of software you made. The new .png filename format is nice, little more compact and cooperates with Firefox. Thanks for all your hard work.
-
Hi nitram

Thanks for confirming the fix worked.

Thanks, I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out.
Thanks for all your hard work.
You're welcome. And thanks again for taking the time to test, it was very helpful.
The revised version has been submitted to the TC3, TC4, TC5, and TC6 repositories.

Looks like beroje beat me to it, but grabber.tcz is now also available in the TC5 and TC6 repos. The version in the TC4 repo
has also been updated to fix an interaction problem with certain window managers and the format of the saved file name has
been changed (see Reply #14). Also the comments in the config file received a few clarifications.
-
Hi beroje
Thanks again. I see you are running IceWM and FLWM. Which window manager is that in the TC5 screen shot?
-
Hi nitram
You might want to ditch the version I sent you and reinstall from the repo so you have a proper md5 file and a config file whose
comments match the programs operation, delete the old config file first.
-
Hey Rich
beroje's TC5 screenshot shows Fluxbox. Hackedbox doesn't have a panel.
-
Tried it with Hackedbox. Didn't see a problem.
I think it would make sense to use the Enter key to take the screenshot.
That's not a request; just thinking.
-
Hi Misalf
Thanks for testing.
I think it would make sense to use the Enter key to take the screenshot.
I'll keep that in mind if I need to release a new version and other people also think it makes sense.
-
Hi nitram

Done - thanks. Enter key would work too but i'm used to 's' for save in most other apps and it's close to 'q'.

Hi Rich
In TC5 I used fluxbox.
Thanks again.
Hi Rich
En TC5 he usado fluxbox.

I made this perfect window-shot using grabber on a multi colored background, it's really nice for fine clipping the excess off the window borders.
Thanks Rich
I have a suggestion please
I think it would be much more useful to include or replace the coordinates in the coordinates panel with an abbreviated keyboard function list to help remember how to fine tune the window-shots ??
since it's not every day we take a screenshot..
-
Hi coreplayer2
Rather than mess with the coordinates window, how about a popup help window like this:
(http://i57.tinypic.com/91ktmx.jpg)
(http://i57.tinypic.com/67hydt.jpg)
Press h or any other key not defined for a keyboard function and it pops up. Press any key to hide the help window.
-
Hi coreplayer2
Sent you a PM with a link to the modified tcz for you to test before I submit it.
-
Hi Rich
the help menu is perfect thanks
What led to that suggestion was the trouble I got myself into when multiple instances were loaded. Actually without the ability to read a help menu I was forced on several occasions to use REISUB to escape back to a usable system.
With that experience in mind I wonder if it's also possible modify the "q" keyboard shortcut? perhaps even expand on it a little..? for example:
(either q or Esc ??)
q = quit all instances
Q= quit topmost instance
Awesome application, thanks Rich
-
If it doesn't prevent a VT switch, you can switch there and do a "killall grabber". If there are no extra VTs, it's fully ok to suspend X with ctrl-Z.
-
Hi coreplayer2
Adding ESC is not a problem. Quitting all instances might be tricky.
-
Hi coreplayer2
Both changes have been implemented.
(http://i59.tinypic.com/2q9x9y0.jpg)
I'll PM you a download link.
-
Awesome, thanks Rich
After using the previous version with the help menu all morning (which is cool thanks) I have one quick question? Can the "Shift" key be inhibited from bringing up the help screen as "Shift is required when using X or Y etc. etc.. You can see the dilemma? While it has no effect on the outcome, every time we try to select Shift+x or Shift+y we are presented with the onscreen help menu.
great job
-
Hi coreplayer2
Oops, I missed that. Shouldn't be too hard to fix.
-
Hi coreplayer2
Link for fixed version sent to you.
-
Works great thanks Rich
Onscreen help, "Shift" and kill-all keys work as expected thanks
Now that I'm experienced with the program I use the mouse to set starting x & y position, then drag a box a little larger than the window to capture. Then I use the arrow keys to position the top & left selection bars exactly over the desired border and then use x & y keys to reduce the width and height selection bars exactly over the desired borders. Selecting "s" saves to my user directory.
(https://db.tt/Yrik4gkq)
-
Hi coreplayer2
You're welcome, glad you like it. If you or anyone else think of anything else, let me know. I'll hold off submitting
this version a few days.
-
I luv it thanks..
I have a couple observations which are really trivial and I don't really know if they are worth any attention because could be just semantics, but they are worth mentioning..
First, regarding the selection box, which are Top/Left and Bottom/Right outlines. you can move and position the x & y co-ordinates which define the Left outline and Top outline, so that the top/left selection outlines are positioned over a window border using the arrow keys or L/l R/r keys.
then you can move and position the h & w co-ordinates (I assume Height and Width) which define the bottom outline and right outline, so that the bottom/right selection outlines are positioned over a window border using the arrow keys or X/x and Y/y keys.
Maybe there is some technical reason why we can't move the x and y co-ordinates with the arrow keys and X/x and Y/y keys. Then move the W and H co-ordinates with W/w and H/h keys.. Sounds good right??
Secondly, this is more difficult to explain.. When you position the selection box exactly over the desired window border lets say over the outermost one pixel width of the widow border, the top & left selection components capture the one pixel beneath the selection bars. Whereas the right & bottom (W & H) selection bars do not capture the one pixel of the window border directly beneath them, ie the saved window shot is missing the one pixel off the bottom and right sides. Conversely you could say that the top and left portion of the saved window shot have gained the extra one pixel of the window border.
Honestly I don't know which is right, but I think the x/y and w/h selection co-ordinates should capture the same. That is either the pixel inside the border or the pixel underneath, for all sides of the selection box. I'm thinking if you draw a box around a window you should capture every pixel inside that selection., seems logical..?
sorry if that's clear as mud...

I really like grabber and keep it in OnDemand so please don't misunderstand. When i read coreplayer2's latest comment, Scrot's window capture immediately came to mind. If a screenshot of only a specific window is desired, just click on the window and it's automagically captured for the screenshot, no fiddling with border edges and x/y nudges. Personally i'm not picky with screenshots, just outline a portion of the desktop/close enough and take the shot, but for users who desire pixel precision maybe a future feature? Take care :)
-
Well I hope Rich doesn't think I'm being picky..
grabber is super ;D
-
Hi coreplayer2
No, Rich doesn't think you're being picky, he's just contemplating the contents of your last post.
-
Hi nitram
Scrot's window capture immediately came to mind. If a screenshot of only a specific window is desired, just click on the window and it's automagically captured for the screenshot ...
I presented a script a couple of years ago that can do that too:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,15086.msg86458.html#msg86458
-
Hi coreplayer2
So it sounds like you want to use upper/lower case x, y, w, and h to better match the notation used in the coordinates
window, that's doable.
With respect to the outline, yes, the area defined does not include the bottom/right lines. Fixing that might prove to
be messy. I'd need to examine the code very carefully to see what's involved.

Hi Rich. Thanks for providing some TC screenshot history. Your windowshot script still works well in TC6 x86 with the modifications described in the link, if you were thinking about submitting an extension. Take care.
-
Hi nitram
I hadn't planned on submitting it as an extension. If someone thinks it's worth putting into the repository, they're
welcome to do so with my blessing. Just read through the thread and apply the appropriate fixes first.
Windowshot was created to address a specific issue: What if I don't want the whole screen, but just one window?
Grabber was created to address a different issue: What if I want just a specific section of the screen?
-
Hi coreplayer2
I've added an option that lets you include the mouse cursor in the saved image by hitting c instead of s.
I'll PM you a download link so you can try it out if you wish.
So it sounds like you want to use upper/lower case x, y, w, and h to better match the notation used in the coordinates
window, that's doable.
I have not implemented this yet. If you confirm this is what you had in mind, I'll make the change.
-
Hi coreplayer2
Forgot to mention, if you're running this under TC5 or TC6 you'll need libXfixes.tcz, it's small, only 20K. If you're
running under TC4 it depends on Xorg-7.6-lib.tcz which is most likely installed since so many extensions depend
on it anyway. These dependencies should only effect capturing the cursor.
-
Rich, that's cool and yes the keyboard quick keys in keeping with coordinates notation was exactly my concern.
Since you reminded us of the history and grabber's intended use, the lower and right window border anomaly is I think a moot point..
Thanks

Hi Rich.
In the process of preparing to submit as windowshot.tcz.
- Still need to test if it will work in Xvesa with xwininfo (xorg-7.7-bin.tcz) dependency, otherwise info file will indicate Xorg only
- Stll need a desktop icon, if you have preference send a link otherwise i'll find something online
- The script was modified to reflect changes required in the link you posted above
- It was also changed to output 'windowshot' and the windowshot .png file name will be same name/date format as grabber
Take a look at modified script, OK with you? Will clean up before submit.
#!/bin/sh
#
# Based heavily on Tinycores screenshot.sh, this script captures a
# single window rather than the entire screen. When run, the cursor
# changes to a crosshair. Click on a window to save a .png of it in
# your home directory. Richard Rost 3-19-2013
[ -z ${DISPLAY} ] && echo "Requires X" && exit 1
which xwininfo > /dev/null
[ "$?" -ne 0 ] && exec popup "Requires xwininfo, see Xorg-7.(5 or 6)-bin.tcz" && exit 1
WINDOW_ID=`xwininfo -frame | grep " Window id:" | cut -d " " -f 4`
#filename=screenshot_`date "+%m%d%H%M%S"`.png
filename=windowshot-`date "+%Y%b%d-%H%M%S"`.png
#sleep 1
#/bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/imlib2_grab -id $WINDOW_ID $HOME/$filename"
/bin/sh -c "imlib2_grab -id $WINDOW_ID $HOME/$filename"
#exec popup "Screenshot saved to $HOME/$filename"
exec popup "Windowshot saved to $HOME/$filename"
Noticed your grabber is a binary - i don't know how to create that and was just going to place the .sh script into /usr/local/bin - OK?
grabber.tcz includes custom grabber-license text, do you want to provide something similar for windowshot.tcz or just GPL?
You will obviously be documented as author in the info file, i'm just the maintainer.
Plan to submit for TC6 x86. Anything else let me know - thanks.
-
Hi nitram
- Still need to test if it will work in Xvesa with xwininfo (xorg-7.7-bin.tcz) dependency, otherwise info file will indicate Xorg only
Since the 7.5 and 7.6 versions of xwininfo work under Xvesa, I would expect the 7.7 version to work too, but
confirmation would be prudent.
- Stll need a desktop icon, if you have preference send a link otherwise i'll find something online
I'll leave the icon selection to you.
Take a look at modified script, OK with you? Will clean up before submit.
Minor change:
#[ "$?" -ne 0 ] && exec popup "Requires xwininfo, see Xorg-7.(5 or 6)-bin.tcz" && exit 1
[ "$?" -ne 0 ] && exec popup "Requires xwininfo, see Xorg-7.(5, 6, or 7)-bin.tcz" && exit 1Noticed your grabber is a binary - i don't know how to create that and was just going to place the .sh script into /usr/local/bin - OK?
That's because grabber was written in C and is compiled. /usr/local/bin/windowshot.sh is correct.
grabber.tcz includes custom grabber-license text, do you want to provide something similar for windowshot.tcz or just GPL?
Good question. The original script was part of the TC4 base installation and not signed by the author. I think just GPL
should be fine.
Plan to submit for TC6 x86. Anything else let me know - thanks.
You will need a .dep file containing:
imlib2-bin.tcz
Xorg-7.7-bin.tcz
-
Hi coreplayer2
I just updated the keyboard functions and update the help window to match. You'll have a link to the updated tcz
PM'd to you in a few minutes.
-
Hi coreplayer2
Have you had a chance to try the last version I sent you to make sure I got it right?
-
yes thanks, the extension works great, is easy to use and intuitive. good job thanks :)
help menu is perfect also thanks
Thinking out loud here and I keep thinking.. Perhaps there is a simpler way to move the selection boundaries... the arrow keys seem intuitive right? there are four boundaries, all are independent and there are four arrow keys. the shift key could can be used to determine an alternate direction of movement.. Anyhow that's most likely a lot of work and the app is great as is, just thinking....
-
Hi coreplayer2
Interesting idea, but a shifted arrow key returns the same keycode as an unshifted arrow.
Also found a subtle bug with the escape key. Running under TC4, xorg7.5, and flwm. Start grabber from the command
line, use escape to exit, then click the mouse. All mouse clicks will now be ignored. Hit Alt-Tab a couple of times, then
click the mouse, and proper operation of the mouse is restored. This does not occur under Xvesa. It also does not
appear to be a bug with grabber itself. I can reproduce the same behavior by hitting escape in a terminal that has
focus and then clicking the mouse. I'll have to remove the escape key function if I can't resolve this.
-
Shift can be checked in the mask field (the ShiftMask bit is 0x1).
-
Hi curaga
True, but this also affects the keypad arrows. Under Xorg, shifted arrows revert back to numbers when NumLock is
off and do the opposite when NumLock is on. I'd prefer not to add special levels of decoding for these corner cases.
-
Hi coreplayer2
Secondly, this is more difficult to explain.. When you position the selection box exactly over the desired window border lets say over the outermost one pixel width of the widow border, the top & left selection components capture the one pixel beneath the selection bars.

I'm thinking if you draw a box around a window you should capture every pixel inside that selection., seems logical..?
sorry if that's clear as mud...

Having just dealt with that issue in another program I'm working on, I fixed grabber so the width and height readouts now
reflect the inside dimensions of the selection rectangle. Modified the info file to read:
Move the mouse with the left button depressed to draw an outline around the
section of the screen to save. Everything inside the outline will saved as
a .png file. The outline will not be included in the saved file.
I also removed the Esc key to quit function since I wasn't able to resolve the problem in post #55.
grabber version 1.2 has been submitted and will probably be available in about a week.
-
The updated grabber.tcz version 1.2 is now available in the repository. Thank you to all that tried it and provided
feedback, especially nitram and coreplayer2 who assisted in bug fixes, testing, and improving the user interface.

bottom line builds the exe and my build script creates TCZ etc
Test with xbase.lst is a pass for a full screenshot. Pass for a selection too.
I am inviting another member to have a look at something unrelated to above so hope you don't mind me attaching the build script.
the download gsource was only created because I did not want to try to work out how to use your attachment in my script as I lacked the skills.

Is imlib2 part of a base install in x86_64? If not, then imlib2.tcz needs to be added to grabber.tcz.dep.

imlib2-bin and imlib2 are already in xbase.lst

Hi aus9
OK, just checking because as of TC5 imlib2 was removed from base in x86.

Generally "import" coomand can be used to capture part of the screen.
It would be desirable, if grabber can be used to capture irregular area on the screen displaying an image with a facility to reverse the pixel colors from black to white and vice-versa etc within selected irregular area with click of a mouse button, if posible ! :)
By the way, nice efforts for grabber !

dep file adjusted

now I am confused. I thought if a dep was already in xbase.lst I did not need it for the TCZ dep?
-
I don't recall that being said?

ahh well I get easiy confused ;)
