Congratulations.  

Now I'm almost jealous because I'm still on stable.

Thanks :mrgreen:  


edit ; yes, i had to make a desktop recording n then pause it n take a picture of it.

print screen button doesnt seem to want to take a picture when the app / test app is active.  

cool

yes prt-scrn does not work if a "Menu" is open as it's grabs the key events,  combobox pops open a menu so prnt-screen does not work till the combobox menu is closed.

yeah, so taking a screenshot of the combo box had me stumped for a second, but i remembered OBS

here's a trick to use gbs scripting to set a 5 second delay then save a screenshot to ~/screenshot.png

try this in a terminal…


that gives you 5 seconds to pop your menus open.

Now I'd like to do some advertising.
There are many screenshot programmes out there.
But one is written in Gambas by Cogier, here from the forum, and he has just updated it.
Take a look at ScreenShot 3.0.0.

If you capture the entire screen, the image may be a bit large. Then simply enter the following.

Enter in Bash.


All you need is ImageMagick.

so i need to install another program, to use the program you just suggested?

I don't think so.
I think ImageMagick is pre-installed almost everywhere.

You can also use the program without compression.
I use it to select part of the screen and make a few notes directly in it.
But I have now tested the latest version extensively and found that the recording of the entire screen is a bit large.
I have already written this to cogier . He is looking for a solution. In the meantime, I am using the above command as a workaround.

But be sure to disable or remove the stable list first

No need as master is the highest version and will be pulled in. Stable will never be used again, even with entries still there.
The other way around (downgrade) would require some removal of referrals and gambas3 itself and a complete reinstall
