[SOLVED] What to use for screen capture in KDE 4
« on: August 17, 2009, 03:10:36 PM »
Well I loaded KDE4 on a test system but for the life of me can't figure out what program that I need to do screen captures.  In KDE3 I use Ksnapshot but that doesn't work with KDE4. Anyone have suggestions on what program that I can use?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure I used ksnapshot for mine.

Did you install kdegraphics for KDE 4? It is in the menu. I use it all the time to make snapshots of my desktop. An alternative you might use is shutter.


Thanks to everyone who donates. You keep the servers running.

thanks for the suggestion of shutter.  Yes the kdsgraphics4 was/is installed. When I did a search in synaptic for ksnapshot it only turned up "draksnapshot"  I assumed it (ksnapshot) was not installed. It is indeed installed.

YouCanToo:  I don't know, I installed task-kde4-extra on a live-usb Minime iso.  KSnapshot is in my multimedia menu entry.  ??  hmm.

I think we got used to the fact that Tex split up huge KDE packages for KDE3, and this has not been done for KDE4. So when you install kdegraphics, you get everything in one package.

PCLinuxOS has no wealthy sponsors and can only survive with your donations! Don't wait it might be too late.
