The past month and a half have been really busy for me, since I've been helping move buildings at work, so I've been fairly exhausted. I also spent most of my time after work in December making some gifts for some close friends as well as several postcards to them and others. I'm not entirely operational at work yet, but I'm slowly getting to a mostly-operational state.
I'm hoping to get the blog updated with all the projects within the next month or two (hopefully not longer than that) but please bear with me if I happen to be absent with posts again.
For a while I've been using Shutter as my screenshot program, but for whatever reason, it can't get the saved settings and resets everything to default, which is annoying. I tried figuring out what was wrong with it yesterday morning, but eventually I figured it'd be better to just find something else.
I tried
xfce4-screenshooter, but I didn't like that it brings up a dialogue window after getting the screenshot. I think I figured out how to save it to ~/Pictures but I wanted a simplistic filename, which I didn't feel like figuring out how to do (I'm sure there's a way, but I didn't care to look).I then browsed through a list on Arch's wiki, and went with
scrot next, which did what I wanted it to do, and eventually after a bit of tinkering, it became the perfect replacement.Now when I hit Print Screen, it saves it as "YYYY-MM-DD_HH:MM:SS.png" and puts it in
~/Pictures like I want. Shutter is nice, but sometimes simplicity is the best solution.
