HW-Screenshot

Take a screenshot using a button, like you do on a computer.
Warning: This is another one of my n00b unfriendly installs. Don't hate.




This idea came about when AStorm wanted a button based method of taking screenshots. I suggested a hacky method of replacing osso-global-search (due to it being invoked on the changeable <ctrl>e shortcut) but then I found what listens to that shortcut and thought it would be nice to add my own handler.

This is just some nice scripts written by me that uses zenity to deliver a interface and scrot to take the screenshots. Settings are saved in gconf.

Prerequisites:
Install instructions:
Code:
sudo gainroot
cd ~
maemo-mini-curl -o scrot_0.8-8_armel.deb http://qwerty12.maemobox.org/swagga/scrot_0.8-8_armel.deb
maemo-mini-curl -o giblib1_1.2.4-5_armel.deb http://qwerty12.maemobox.org/swagga/giblib1_1.2.4-5_armel.deb
apt-get update
apt-get install libimlib2 zenity
dpkg -i giblib1_1.2.4-5_armel.deb scrot_0.8-8_armel.deb
rm scrot_0.8-8_armel.deb giblib1_1.2.4-5_armel.deb
Then just install the attached deb with the application manager as normal.

(The tar is the source package, irrelevant to most people).
