Mines Shift+Print Screen. In dos it used to actually print the screen.
The ONLY logical result of a key so labeled. How many dweebs are naturally going to associate 'print' with screencap? I've seen KDE's new screenshooter name 2-3 times in recent days and *still* can't remember it. Why don't we change program names more often, or other things? Let's stop calling banks banks and call them fremoxen instead? Let's call PCs wertomes, automobiles bazlinder, and streets skordinks. Strategic behavior from KDE upstream in recent years makes me estimate their average age too low for legal imbibing.
Any chance we can get that new upstream name changed to KSnapshot for openSUSE?
Apparently this was due to someone discovering that Ksnapshot had only X-11 screen shot capability. It wasn't broken and was actually working under K5, but then someone said Wayland, and the guy looking at Ksnapshot did a re-write to something called KscreenGenie, because, apparently, that's the way the KDE project works, any johnny-come-lately project triggers an instant rewrite of KDE core programs. https://blogs.kde.org/2015/08/12/ksnapshot-next Then there was another change, and, KScreenGenie got released with no Wayland support after all. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=KScreenGenie-KSnapshot Then, for totally unexplained reasons, KScreenGenie was totally replaced (or renamed, who can tell?) with Spectacle, https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-15.12.0.php Apparently this latest change was triggered by someone finding a kludge to get Spectacle taking snapshots when Wayland was running instead of X-11. https://www.mail-archive.com/kde-core-devel@kde.org/msg19928.html So that's the story until Boudhayan Gupta changes his socks and triggers another KDE rewrite/rename. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
