Buggy utility

It should be noted that this utility doesn't work properly and never has. It can capture the entire screen when the <Print Scrn> key is pressed, but is utterly incapable of capturing the current window properly when <Alt> + <Print Scrn> are pressed. In order to capture the current window, one is forced to use GIMP's built-in screen capture ( File > Create > Screenshot... ), or capture the entire screen and then crop to the desired window with a graphic editor such as GIMP. One can also resort to the interactive mode of gnome-screenshot and select the area of the screen one wants to capture using the "Select area to grab" option, a slow and inaccurate process, at best. — Quicksilver^{T @} 21:58, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Commandline Invocation

Could someone add a way to start this from the commandline? I am using XFCE right now but would like to use the gnome screenshot utility but don't know how; and the XFCE menu also does not have that entry. Thanks! 131.130.83.54 (talk) 14:16, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Needs a link to it's replacement!

Sorry I am not the right person to add what I am requesting to WP. This article is about a utility from 2011 that was replaced a long time ago with something built into Gnome. There are several links in the article to other, similar utilities. But no link (possibly should go at the bottom in the Related Links part, since this article is not about Gnome) to the documentation in Gnome for what replaced it! It is always good to know the history of things, but most people who use WP also want to know useful stuff. When I google for anything else regarding this online, I just get the old docs for the old replaced utility, and I am having to guess how to perform this action on my computer today, and I am not so good at that. Thank you. 2601:646:9B00:9460:0:0:0:975A (talk) 20:20, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
