KSnapshot is a screenshot application for the KDE desktop environment developed by Richard J. Moore, Matthias Ettrich and Aaron J. Seigo.[1] The screenshots taken by KSnapshot are also called snapshots, which explains its name. It is written in Qt and C++. KSnapshot allows users to use hotkeys[2] to take a screenshot.
In December 2015, KSnapshot has been replaced by Spectacle.[3]
Features
KSnapshot has the following features:[1]
- Save snapshot in multiple formats
- Take new snapshot
- Open with... possibility to open snapshot in external editor.
- Copy to clipboard
- Several capture modes, including selected region or single window.
- Snapshot delay
Ksnapshot also had a direct-to-print button but it was removed in version KDE 3.5.
Spectacle
)
Spectacle replaced KSnapshot with the release of KDE Applications 15.12 in December 2015.
In addition to what one could do with KSnapshot, Spectacle can take composite screenshots of pop-up menus along with their parent windows. Other feature is the ability to take screenshots without explicitly starting Spectacle by using the keyboard shortcuts ⇧ Shift+PrintScreen and Meta+PrintScreen respectively. Spectacle was optimized to start fast to minimize the time lag between starting the application and capturing the image.
