Sorry, I'm currently making the docs here

Oh ok, if possible could you notify me when you have finished them?

Hi, now the wiki documentation is complete (though not very good). Now you can check it here, if you have any questions or difficulties use, feel free to discuss it here

Thanks a lot!

The main part I'm confused with is how to actually take a screen shot using it. Would it be possible for you to tell me how?

How Awesomeshot work on an argument -a or --auto?

• Run awesomeshot with argument -a or --auto
• Take a screenshot
• The inotify-tools package will detect new files from the folder already set in config awesomeshot.conf
• After detecting new files, awesomeshot will edit the image with package ImageMagick

What should be prepared?

1. You must check the screenshot PATH result when your phone takes a screenshot (default config awesomeshot.conf is /sdcard/Pictures/Screenshots) which is my default screenshot PATH result when taking a screenshot. If not same, you have to change the value from variable screenshot_result_path on your config

2. After the value from variable screenshot_result_path same with your screenshot PATH result, now run awesomeshot with argument -a or --auto and it will make Awesomeshot in listening mode waiting to take screenshot.

3. When awesomeshot on mode auto, now you can take screenshot picture and then awesomeshot will automatically detect new file on you screenshot PATH result and edit your image with ImageMagick

How Awesomeshot work on an argument -m or --manual?

Basically same with argument -a or --auto but in this argument, you have to set the PATH from a specific image, in this argument we don't need the inotify-tools package because we set the PATH specifically and manually

• Take a screenshot, or already have the image file
• Run awesomeshot with argument -m or --manual with PATH the image file, example:

awesomeshot -m /sdcard/Download/test.png

• awesomeshot will edit the image with package ImageMagick

So simply if I run the command awesomeshot -a and then take a screen shot it will be edited (complying to my config) and saved in sdcard/Pictures/Screenshots?

Depending on your phone when take screenshot

So I've read that page and my screenshot dir is Internal storage/DCIM/Screenshots however when setting this as my screenshot result path it doesn't seem to show in that directory and when i take a screenshot it doesn't automatically edit it after I've ran the command awesomeshot -a, any help?

Still facing this issue btw, currently just using manual.

btw, I've been very busy these past few weeks so it's a bit slow to respond

If your screenshot dir is Internal storage/DCIM/Screenshot you must set or change variable value screenshot_result_path, change:

/sdcard/Pictures/Screenshots

to

/sdcard/DCIM/Screenshots

NOTE: You must give permission to Termux for access your storage by command termux-setup-storage

Oh ok I'll give that a shot thanks alot

So I've followed your steps and when I take a screenshot after using the command awesomeshot -a , I face this error:

Any idea why this may be?

[nihsx]

I have no idea, the error is like my friend who tried it with the name of the screenshot result with the .pending prefix. If you understand about bash scripting maybe you can change or modify the awesomeshot script, for example removing the .pending prefix before converting it to PNG and etc.

Hi, I fixed a bug with .pending prefix filename in version 1.0.5, can you try it?
