Useful scrot + skype

Hello!

I have openbox and scrot for screenshots. How can I use it like this:
- I press PrntScr
- Screen saves in specified folder (so as not to clutter the home directory)
- And screen saves in clipboard and I can paste it for message in Skype

Is it real? If yes, how?

Re: Useful scrot + skype

i am not sure about the screen shot being saved in the clipboard cause I have never used clipboards.

But having scrot take a screenshot and saving it in a certain folder is quite easy using xbindkeys. Here's the keystroke for it.

"scrot -e ‘mv $f ~/pictures/’"
    m:0x0 + c:107
    Print

You can probably use something similar to pass the shot to your clipboard manager like parcellite or something.
