Better screenshot (betterss)

This project works as a replacement for QNX's screenshot

The screenshot command from QNX is slow & lacks of some features

Performance

	screenshot	betterss
Full screen capture time (1920x1080)	~1.47s	~0.10s (14.7 times faster)

Usage

Full screen capture:

./betterss

Capture any area:

./betterss x=100 y=100 w=200 h=200

x y w h are optional

The images are saved under /var/tmp

Specify output path

./betterss file=/var/screenshot/image_name

The file extension .bmp will be concatenated

Note: for custom locations, the path must exists (I didn't do the mkdir)

Export as PNG

./betterss type=png

Encoder: fpng

Capture another display

betterss allow capturing any display attached (like Cluster virtual display, lower blade,...)

./betterss display=index

• index: the index of the display, might be 0, 1, 2,...

You have to try each index to find the desired display

Build

Firstly, setup your build enviroment (QNX compiler,...)

Then cd to project directory:

cmake .
make
