Perdyshot is a Linux application that takes perdy screenshots. Us Linux-folk like nice stuff, too. π§
While Perdyshot will work on any Linux distro, it'll require some modification of the configuration file to look good on distros other than Elementary OS. That's not a very difficult task, though. β
Perdyshot can at the current state of the project capture the active window or a selection. π³
To use Perdyshot, grab the latest release (or clone this repository for bleeding edge) and run ./checkdependencies.py
to make sure you have everything you need. β
Then run ./gui/perdyshot.py
. That'll create a tray icon that opens a menu when you click it. βοΈ
If you want a bit more control, check out the cli
directory. The scripts in there are what the GUI uses. For a list of options, use the -h
command-line flag. π΅
Make sure to check out perdyshot.conf
, to see if there's anything you want to change! π
