20.04.1 Mate-Screenshot without interactivity

Hello,

I have used "shutter" until now.
Now I found out that Mate include a own screenshot-utility aka mate-screenshot.
It works proper for me with just one problem:
Every time I pressed the "PRTSCR-Key" mate-screenshot starts interactive.
I did not want to install other screenshot tools.
So my question is: How to do to get mate-screenshot work in automatic save mode without open the GUI?

Thx
Frank

Hi :slight_smile:

You can assign a keyboard shortcut to run this command : mate-screenshot
It will start without interactive mode.

You can also edit the .desktop file /usr/share/applications/mate-screenshot.desktop to edit the Exec=mate-screenshot --interactive into Exec=mate-screenshot and the regular app icon from the menu will run without interactive mode.

Good luck :slight_smile:

Good idea, but won't work.
The same screen open to ask for saving.

You mean only the one to save the screenshot once it's done by clicking ?

If you want to avoid the save window too, i think there is no solution with mate-screenshot.

Install flameshot :slight_smile: its the one i'm using all the time only with shortcuts without any window.

Thanks olek,
did you have found a way to shortcut it to the PRNT-Key?

Forget my question. I'm back to Shutter.

Thx
