How to take screenshots

How can I take screenshots in xfce? I want to take shots of individual windows, as well as of the whole screen.

I have seen references to a screenshot panel plugin, but have been unable to find a download for it. I am using Slackware 11.0.

Re: How to take screenshots

you can always use xwd. From a terminal do xwd -out filename.xwd and then clik on the window you want to capture the screen from. crude, but effective

Re: How to take screenshots

you can use the command import:

$ import -w root image.jpg

and see the image.jpg image smile

or

$ sleep 2; import -w root image.jpg

to wait 2 seconds smile


smile

Re: How to take screenshots

Thanks for all your help.

The 'import' program suits my needs best - I can produce images in the format I want (usually PNG), which 'xwd' doesn't do, and it is quicker to load and use than the gimp.

or simply use scrot which makes high quality pngs and gives them proper names (date and time.png) and saves them into ur home directory

Re: How to take screenshots

A too old thread but I want to put my two cents on a way of making this more transparent to final user. I made this script [1] that takes the screenshot and saves a png image (with a timestamp in the name) on Desktop of the user. I went to Keyboard Settings on Xfce menu and configure the proper shortcut for taking screenshots with Print Screen key

I hope it can help others having this issue

Just to mention that your script needs imagemagick.
