Dear All,Is there a way that I can capture the screen and save this image into a file ? In window I just press the "Print Screen" key then open some softeware Edit + Paste then I can save this into a file I just don't know how to do this in DSL. Thanks for any suggestion in advance.

There's a screenshot application in DSL...check the 'Tools' menu. No idea how it works, since I use the Imagemagick extension for screenshots (plug plug).

There is a very nice description of it < here >. It's hiding under the menu apps->toolls->X Windows Snapshot.A cursor appears and you click and drag over what you want to capture. it puts the myscreen.xwd file in your home folder. Posted by cpfong on Jan. 19 2005,14:51
yes. it works. Tks.But I find another way to do it (I think this is easier for me) I am using DSL version .0.9.1 and there is XPaint at the desktop XPaint 2.6.2 --> File --> Take Snapshot --> select area --> File --> Save as gif, jpeg, .... --> Done |
