screenr

bash script to improve the taking of screenshots

This script takes a screenshot using maim (+ slop) or alternatively scrot and then asks the user what to do with it using rofi
Available options are "Save", "Upload" (to imgur and dropbox), "Edit", "Save & Upload" and "View"

Features

After taking a screenshot, the user will be prompted by an interactive menu

• Save
  Saves image to a pre-defined directory

• Upload
  Prompts choice to upload to either imgur or dropbox and optionally copies the URL into clipboard and/or opens it in a web browser

• Edit
  Opens the image in an Image Manipulation Program and returns to the menu after done editing and closing it

• Save & Upload
  Performs both the Save and Upload action

• View

  Discards the image and all changes made to it

You will need

• maim (https://github.com/naelstrof/maim) or alternatively scrot (I highly recommend maim)

For full functionality:

• slop (https://github.com/naelstrof/slop) when using maim (required to use $ maim -s)
