However I note, that I was using my Sabayon 4.2 (64 bit) install when I failed to get the "--window" option to work properly. I've since tried it on my (64 bit) Kubuntu, Jaunty installation, And on Kubuntu the --window option works. So it's probably something with the unofficial gentoo entropy package x11-misc/emprint-9999 rather than an actual enlightenment issue. The --beep option on the other hand remains silent on both linux versions. Which of course figures, since most times I'd want the whole screen and unless I use the -w or -r option, the only way aside from a perfect sense of timing to know when the snapshot is actually taken is to hope I spot the moment of hard drive activity when it writes the .png file <sigh> Oh well, I can, after all, just set a 30 second delay. Then quickly switch desktops,( or if I want a snap of the current desktop, iconify the terminal I'm running emprint from,) And then make any needed final adjustments to the screen appearance. (Such as perhaps opening a menu I want displayed...) And then clock watch for another full 30 seconds, before I assume it's done...

Yeah, though I tend to only install what I can get with the package management systems for whichever distro I'm using because *_I_* can't handle dependency hell... But I was able to get the package: x11-plugins/e_modules-screenshot-9999 on my gentoo based Sabayon installation, And with this in my Kubuntu "/etc/apt/sources.list": "deb http://packages.enlightenment.org/ubuntu jaunty main extras" I was able to get "emodule-screenshot_0.16.999.062+svn41588-1_amd64.deb" But actually I generally find keyboard methods easier than mouse based ones, So I'm more likely to use emprint directly than to wrestle the mousepointer over to the camera gadget... If I find the time I might even write a bash script wrapper for it that specifies an output file. That is if I can dig up my old notes on using some kind of loop to increment sequencenum until the test: [ -f ${basefilename}${sequencenum}.png ] fails. (Hmmnn for that matter if I don't want to put the actual emprint command in an "else" list, is [ ! -f ${basefilename}${sequencenum}.png ] the correct syntax ???) Well anyway, If/when I get such a script working I might even assign it a key binding... > Let me know if you have issues. Nah, it's all good...
