screenshooter

Post by rockdoctor »

IMHO, one moderately significant deficiency (for me) in LXDE is an applet that will take a screenshot. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to write a panel applet. However, I have written a small screenshooter app in python; along with a screenshooter.desktop file to allow me to place a launcher on the panel. It's not properly packaged yet and I have no idea what the actual requirements are, but I'm sure that gtk, pyGTK, and python-Xlib are definitely among those requirements. The GUI was built in Glade-3; gtk-builder-convert was used to convert it to an xml file (screenshooter.ui) that the main script (screenshooter.py) reads. The README file explains where each file goes (haven't gotten around to writing an install script). I've uploaded the package at http://soleil.nfldinet.com/~rockdoctor/ ... 019.tar.gz.
Feedback would be greatly appreciated.
