Share screenshots on the Internet
Often, when communicating on the Internet, it is necessary to quickly show the other person a screenshot (program window) to help him cope with a problem or solve his problem.
To do this, you can go a long way - save the snapshot to a file, go to the appropriate hosting, upload the result, and give the link to the other person. But you can maximally simplify your life by once writing a simple script that will do all the routine work.
Since I use KDE, I use the following utilities for my own purposes:
xsnap - for the screenshot itself (option - scrot);
uimge - to fill the image on the hosting;
kdialog - for displaying windows and notifications (standard KDE utility, options - xdialog, gtkdialog);
klipper - to place a link to the clipboard (standard KDE utility, variants - glipper).
')
All the action ultimately boils down to calling the script with a hot key (you can customize with your DE), select a section of the screen (or click on the desired window) and select the desired hosting from the list. As a result, a ready link appears in the clipboard.
The main volume of work is performed by the utility uimge, about which they already wrote on Habré, which is a python script. Download (including the Windows version) can be on the home page , there is also an assembly file ( ebuild ) for Gentoo Linux.
Everything else is for beauty and convenience.
