Perdyshot is a Linux application that takes perdy screenshots. Us Linux-folk like nice stuff, too. 🐧
While Perdyshot will work on any Linux distro, it'll require some modification of the configuration file to look good on distros other than Elementary OS. That's not a very difficult task, though. ✊
Perdyshot can at the current state of the project capture the active window or a selection. 🐳
To use Perdyshot, grab the latest release (or clone this repository for bleeding edge) and run ./checkdependencies.py to make sure you have everything you need. ⭐
Then run ./gui/perdyshot.py. That'll create a tray icon that opens a menu when you click it. ✌️
If you want a bit more control, check out the cli directory. The scripts in there are what the GUI uses. For a list of options, use the -h command-line flag. 🎵
Make sure to check out perdyshot.conf, to see if there's anything you want to change! 🙌
