[SOLVED] How take screenshot without delay time

[Baymax]

Hello everyone
I'm new here and i have problem on screenshot on KDE. i use Ksnapshot for take screenshot but it have two step for screenshot , how i can setup it take screenshot like ubuntu ?

If you press Print Screen do you not get the KSnapShot window immediately with the current desktop shown? That's a single step.
The delay time is a different feature - you can set "snapshot delay" to "no delay" to achieve that.

If you don't have a shortcut key assigned yet you can do this through System Settings.

Yes, it shown but i must manual save as screenshot . i set Snapshot delay on No delay but it need save as again.

it takes the snapshot when you press the button then you can either save that snapshot or open it with another program

Yes, it shown but i must manual save as screenshot .

Ah, so do you want to have a screenshot saved immediately (with a default name in the default folder, obviously) without showing a dialogue? I didn't know the Ubuntu equivalent could work this way.

Yes, i do . ubuntu and fedora take screenshot without showing a dialogue. kde must do somthing for it .

I can see where this would be useful. You can always file a feature request for that functionality. If you decide to do so, make sure you list an example user-case as to why this feature would be helpful.

Ksnapshot

Q button

Bug 324382 - WISHLIST: Ksnapshot 'autosave' button, or faster saving process: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324382

Looking at the source of ksnapshot-4.14.3, I found the undocumented feature: Pressing "Q" generates a new file name and saves the screenshot without opening the save dialog.

1. start the ksnapshot
2. the 'q' will take new full screen snapshot without questions


dbus

A quick presentation of D-BUS-based automation: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/lin...ed-automation/

A practical example: automating screenshot captures

...the code uses qdbus to set the Grab mode to Window, whole screen, or rectangular area, as specified by the user, and then grabs the snapshot and saves it in the file called $NAME...

1. start the powtrix (ksnapshot script) with the option window/screen/area
2. pick the window/screen/area
3. the image will saved to the ~/snapshoots/ without questions

You can take "instant" screenshots with scrot (for example):

1. Install "scrot" if not installed
2. create your custom shortcut in SystemSettings>Shortcuts>InputActions
For example:
shortcut: alt+printscr
command: scrot ~/shots/%Y-%m-%d-%T.png
(this command will take a screenshot and save it as ~/shots/YEAR-MM-DD-TIME.png when you press alt+printscr...there are other options for scrot available, see 'man scrot')

EDIT: Wheel Inventor beat me to it, let this be a third possible method
