Hi everybody on the list,
I'm testing the GIMP on various operating systems for my masterthesis
(in that i want to show the capabilities of open-source-software for
technical writing) and i hope that somebody could answer me the
following question (more to follow ;-) :
As a programmer and technical writer for software i love the ability
of getting screenshots directly from and into the GIMP via the
Acquire submenu - Screen shot.

Hi,
Irrespective of operating system, doesn't just using the 'PrintScreen'
key, then opening the screenshot in Gimp do the trick?
Followed by 'Crop' to taste.
Actually, no.
On Linux/X11/DWM, for example, it does.. precisely nothing. Gnome includes
that keybinding you mention, so it will work if you are running Gnome, but
not KDE. Also-- does a Mac keyboard even HAVE a PrintScreen key? Google
saith: no, it doesn't :)

My experience has been completely the opposite. I run KDE on openSuse 10.2 with
Gimp v. 2.2.13. Using the Print Screen key, I saved the image as .png, cropped
it, saved that, and re-opened in Gimp. Ksnapshot took the screen capture almost
immediately. I have not yet tried this on Windows as I resist using that OS at
home; I get enough of that at work.
Regards,
~Mark
