Re: Scrotting

OK - I'm positive that there is a more elegant solution but this should work:

scrot %Y-%m-%d_travkin.png -d 8 -c -t 576x230 -e 'mv $f `echo $f | sed 's/.png//g'`-thumb.png ~/shots/'

Re: Scrotting

alias ss="scrot %Y-%m-%d_travkin.png -d 8 -c -t 576x230 && mv *_travkin.png ~/shots/"

should work, but if you happen to have any other file that ends in _travkin.png in the cwd, then it will be moved as well.

Re: Scrotting

That's my ratpoison alias for scrot, which is even more practical than bash in this case:

alias shot exec scrot -d 1 $HOME/Desktop/shot-$(date +%d%m%y).png

Even though you don't use ratpoison, you can easily use the same alias for bash.
