Looking for "Snag It" equivalent for Fedora

[amrockradio]

Snag It is a quick and easy screen/region capture utility for Windows, and I'm looking for an equally quick and easy screen/region capture utility I can use with Fedora Core 3.

If anybody knows of one, please respond.

Have you tried ksnapshot?

[Jman]

Hit the Print Screen key. Also try it with Alt.

That'll work if that's what I have to do, but I'm looking for something that will capture a fixed region of the screen and save it as a JPEG with an automatic file name.

ksnapshot will do exactly that. Try it out. Run ksnapshot and take a look at your choices in the Capture Mode drop down box. The below snapshot was taken with ksnapshot in "Region" mode. As you can see, it is a snapshot of just the edit box for this forum. There's also a Help button at the bottom of the ksnapshot window.

As for the .jpeg part, if you're running KDE, you can right-click on almost any image file in Konqueror, and choose Actions -> Convert To -> jpeg, png, gif, tiff... or you could open the image in The GIMP and save as .jpeg. Each time you save a screenshot, ksnapshot will increment the filename (screenshot1, screenshot2, etc.) for you before saving.

All of this can be done with apps that are included on the FC3 install disks.

I'll give that a shot
