2.14 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. On start-up, KSnapshot already takes a snapshot of the screen and displays
it as preview. You can choose to save the current snapshot, to open it with an graphics
application or to copy it to the clipboard. Before creating a new snapshot, check if the
options in the lower part of the window match your needs. For example, to automatically
capture a dialog window or a certain region (instead of the full screen), adjust the
Capture Mode. If you need to take some other actions first (like selecting a certain object
in the window), adjust the Snapshot Delay and choose if to Include the window decora-
tions or not. Then click New Snapshot to take a new snapshot which you then can save
or edit further.
