1.13 Taking Screen Shots
With KSnapshot, you can create snapshots of your screen or individual application
windows. Start the program from the main menu or by pressing Alt + F2 and entering
ksnapshot. The KSnapshot dialog consists of two parts. The upper area (Current
Snapshot) contains a preview of the current screen and three buttons for creating and
saving the screen shots. The lower area contains further options for the actual creation
of the screen shot.
Figure 1.18 KSnapshot
To take a screen shot, use Snapshot Delay to determine the time (in seconds) to wait
between clicking New Snapshot and the actual creation of the screen shot. If Only Grab
the Window Containing the Pointer is selected, only the window containing the pointer
is saved. To save the screen shot, click Save Snapshot and designate the directory and
filename for the image in the subsequent dialog. Click Print Snapshot to print the screen
shot.
You can also use The GIMP to take screen shots. To open The GIMP, press Alt + F2
and enter gimp. When you run GIMP for the first time, it installs some files in your
home directory and displays dialogs that give you the opportunity to adapt it to your
environment. For information about using The GIMP, refer to
Chapter 18, Manipulating
Graphics with The GIMP
(page 227) or see its help. You may need to install the help
with YaST (kdeutils3-extra).
