Screenshoot

[LinkBot]

I, like others, have found that the Save option has a png file which is located in ~/Pictures with a very long name, eg, Screenshot_20160327_204916.png. I therefore tend to use the Save As.. option to specify my own name.

For the moment, I think I will use KSnapshot which remembers my last file name and with an incremented number at the end of the file name.

Thanks for the advice on Spectacle and I am getting to like it more. I have tried selecting a rectangular region and it worked fine. I just had to realize that the region option was only activated by a left mouse click.

I found it interesting that when I copied Spectacle from Utilities to Graphics it was registered in the list of Recent Applications. So, I now realize that applications that are launched from Utilities are not added to the list of Recent Applications.

Works absolutely fine on my fresh install 16.04 b2.
