Hi JunkYard
If you have a GUI running, then a screenshot utility should
already be present. Open a terminal and enter:

Code: [Select]

screenshot.shAfter a brief delay, you should see a message that it's done.
This takes a picture of the entire screen.

If you want to take a picture of just one window, install windowshot.tcz.
To use it, click on the Windshot icon.
Your cursor will change from an arrow to a crosshair.
Place the crosshair over the window of interest and left click.
The window must be fully visible to capture all of it.
After a brief delay, you should see a message that it's done.

If you want to select an area of the screen to capture, install grabber.tcz.
To use it, click on the SelectiveScreenshot icon.
Instructions can be found here:

If you need help while its running, press ?. Hit any key to dismiss the help page.

the instructions for grabber.tcz. That post has been corrected.

Hi JunkYard

... 1. How do I upload the image files to this forum ...

The same way you did under Windows in reply #2.

When replying, below the text box where you enter your reply, click on:

Attachments and other options

This will now display various options. Below the choice "Attach:" is a
 Browse  button. Click it and select your file from  the file selector
window that pops up.

... 2. how do I copy them onto another external drive

Plug in your device. Then run:

Code: [Select]

dmesg | tailThe vertical line between the 2 commands should be on your  "\"  key.
The result should be similar to this:

Code: [Select]

[48023.007267] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdg] Attached SCSI removable diskOn my system, the device was assigned the name  sdg1.  On your machine
it will likely be something different.
Click on the  MountTool  icon.
When it comes up, click on the button whose name matches your device.
It should change from red to green.
Then to copy the file, using my device as an example:

Code: [Select]

cp windowshot-2026May28-101242.png /mnt/sdg1
Before unplugging your USB device, use the  MountTool  to unmount
your device. Click the button and make sure it turns from green to red.
