ScreenShot is mode to automate taking a screenshot.
Taking a screenshot and uploading a server are cumbersome. So let’s automate them.
You must have installed ImageMagick and optional scp and Yaoddmuse.
Put Lisp:screenshot.el in your load-path, add
(require 'screenshot)
(setq screenshot-schemes ; edit as you like
'(
;; To local image directory
("local"
:dir "~/images/") ; Image repository directory
;; To current directory
("current-directory" ; No need to modify
:dir default-directory)
;; To remote ssh host
("remote-ssh"
:dir "/tmp/" ; Temporary saved directory
:ssh-dir "www.example.org:public_html/archive/" ; SSH path
:url "http://www.example.org/archive/") ; Host URL prefix
;; To EmacsWiki (need yaoddmuse.el)
("EmacsWiki" ; Emacs users' most familiar Oddmuse wiki
:dir "~/.yaoddmuse/EmacsWiki/" ; same as yaoddmuse-directory
:yaoddmuse "EmacsWiki") ; You can specify another Oddmuse Wiki
;; To local web server
("local-server"
:dir "~/public_html/" ; local server directory
:url "http://127.0.0.1/"))) ; local server URL prefix
(setq screenshot-default-scheme "local") ; default scheme is "local"
in ~/.emacs
M-x screenshot prepares to take a screenshot. It prompts for a image file name and a scheme name. Then set up screen and press C-c C-c! Emacs invokes import command (ImageMagick) and save the screenshot to local. Finally Emacs uploads it to remote server ASYNCHRONOUSLY (via scp or Yaoddmuse).
After taking a screenshot, the URL of the image are ready to yank. Press C-y!
All below option can customize by: M-x customize-group RET screenshot RET
‘screenshot-schemes’ is a list to contain schemes. Edit as you like.
`screenshot-take-delay` is delay time to take a screenshot. It is recommend to have a delay time to enable us to take a screenshot of other application.
Yaoddmuse has a screenshot feature (M-x yaoddmuse-post-screenshot). On the other hand, ScreenShot provides a unified way to take a screenshot in various scheme.
