Hi, Does anyone know a screenshot taking and snipping application, similar to the Shutter (http://shutter-project.org/), but 'more suckless'. It is a tool that - takes a screenshot - allows to select area and crop - is implemented in C - without enormous list of dependencies - is simpler, without too many edit or sharing features. IOW, something similar to the Snipping Tool known from Windows Vitsa/7+. Do you know anything like that? Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

Scrot fits your list of feature requirements in 56KB. It's in extra. ~Celti

I have scrot configured [1] to print screen under i3wm, but I have completely missed the fact it has the nice --select option. That is what I'm looking for, thanks!

Doesn't your desktop environment have one? I'm happy with xfce4-screenshooter plugin for Xfce.

Your X environment has one, in the package xorg-xwd: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xwd -- Gaetan

I had no idea about Xwd. Thanks for pointing to another interesting tool. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

I guess we have to assume that there is a DE. -- Pete

Nope. I do not use DE. I use i3 window manager. Anyway, my problem solved with scrot. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

Hi, I would strongly recommend "Deepin Scrot". You can find a review of it here [1]. It's also available on the AUR [2]. [1] http://www.webupd8.org/2012/03/use-linux-deepin-screenshot-tool-deepin.html [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=55299 -- D. Can Celasun http://durucancelasun.info

Despite I like Python and I do a lot of Python programming, Python-based software do not fit the concept of lightweight, lean and 'suckless' tools I like to use on my Linux :-) Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
