Silly thing I did this weekend: I wanted to take some screenshots of a game I was playing, but pressing F12 (the Steam shortcut to take a screenshot) while pressing all other keys isn’t that easy. So I came up with this very small script:
#!/bin/bash while True; do sleep $1 file=`date "+%Y%m%d-%H%M%S"` echo "Capturing $file..." screencapture -x -tpng $file.png done
I know I could use something like -T$1 to make screencapture wait till taking the screenshot instead of using sleep $1 but then the name won’t match the time of the screenshot (not that that would be a big problem, but I’m that kind of anal retentive).
