Screenshooter

[DeepThought]

[member=8170]MS[/member]  The beauty of linux is, with a little light reading one can make linux do whatever you wish, below are 2 links. The first explains how to change the default action of the keyboard print screen button.

The second, if you scroll down gives cli commands to operate xfce4-screenshooter. Combine them both and you can make xfce4-screenshooter do what you want with a single key press.

Separately, a nice addon to the utopic utopian screenshot utility, would be the sequencer, allowing to program an automatic making of certain amount of screenshots, throughout certain length of time. Say, the fastest pace of making the screenshots, could be one picture per second, detaching the sequencer function from the screencast utilities. Certain maximums ought to also be established, such as one picture per every 999 seconds. I think this could be useful to gamers. Not everyone has the hardware allowing to run a big game in some acceptable quality, while recording with the use of an utility such as Kazam simultaneously. Perhaps writing screenshots in the background, at moderate pace - assuming having a fast drive - could grant some souvenirs, without overburdening the system or personal patience. Sure the utility could be a game engine built-in, even though thusfar, have never seen anything particularly such.

I can understand though how some of you could raise the question of privacy and security, if the system was too eager making perfect stealth screenshots, in rapid succession, omitting the clipboard ballast.
