Screenshot options

[Krikor]

Possibly OS-dependent...

Looks like I'm the only one here using Gimp to handle screenshots.

I wear use this procedure:
1- The "PrintScrn SysRq" key on the keyboard;
2- Then with Gimp ➤ File - Create - From clipboard (Shift+Ctrl+v).
3- Then edit using Gimp.

Practically 100% of my screenshots are this way.

I have a Chrome extension for screenshots. But I only use it in the case where I need to scroll the screen to capture an area larger than my monitor. (due to disuse, this extension has been disabled for perhaps more than a year).

Based on your suggestion - Spectacle, Ksnip and Lightscreen.

Spectacle is for Linux, so I looked for options at https://alternativeto.net/software/kde-spectacle/

Features such as OCR (optical Character Recognition) support, Portable, Stealth, License: GPL V2, Similar/Alternative: LightScreen, Sharex (Spectacle), upload to Imgur, scrolling (full page captures) among other features made me initially opt for Greenshot.

I downloaded the No-Installer.zip version on one of my usb flash-drives and the first test was positive (fast, simple and intuitive).

Now it's a question of adaptation or not.

Thank you all!
