GSnapshot is a simple GTK2 tool that allows users to capture full screen, window, or region screenshots. It's easy to use and perfect for quickly taking screenshots on Linux systems.
If you're looking for a simple and easy-to-use screen capture tool, gsnapshot is a GTK2 application that might just fit the bill. This project provides a user-friendly interface for capturing snapshots of the entire screen, a window, or a specific region.
One of the best things about gsnapshot is that it only requires X Windows and GTK version 2.8.x (tested with gtk-2.8.16), so you don't need to worry about installing a bunch of dependencies. The software is localized in multiple languages (including German, Spanish, French, Bahasa Indonesia, Italian, and Japanese, with English being the default). However, some translations have been pulled from BabelFish and may not be perfect.
When it comes to saving your screen captures, gsnapshot gives you three format options: PNG, JPEG, and BMP. Additionally, you can print to a PostScript file or pipe to /usr/bin/lp.
In terms of requirements, you'll need GTK+ version 2.8.x and GNU Make.
The latest release of gsnapshot includes some changes to the file chooser (such as using GtkIconView boxes), as well as the addition of gdisplay for displaying image files. The software now uses GNU Automake to generate Makefiles, and installation is a simple process of running "./configure [OPTS]" followed by "make".
All in all, gsnapshot is a solid choice for users who want a straightforward screen capture tool with a minimalist interface.
