sour - automate uploading of screenshots, automatic thumbnails, etc!

wolfcore · 2012-04-08 22:24:17

Just wanted to share a script I've been working on for the past few days called sour. Its been really useful, and it might be to others too.

AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58453
Source: https://github.com/wolfcore/sour

sour is a script that automates uploading of screenshots,

sour: usage:

  general:
    -h, --help  print this message
    -f          forum output (thumbnail and BBCode)
    -k          keep images when done (sent to current directory)
    -u URL      don't scrot; use URL as image
    -e PATH     don't scrot; use PATH as image
    -p MSG      prefix output with MSG

  scrot-specific:
    -c          show a countdown before taking the shot
    -d NUM      wait NUM seconds before taking a shot
    -s          interactively choose a window or rectangle with the mouse

Please play with it and tell me what you think!

It's been a week since I posted this thread, just wanted to post an update: I've been working on sour nonstop, and it's pretty nice so far

It's so much easier to post screenshots compared to having to do it all by hand!

Awesome!

I'm open to any suggestions on improvements, etc.

I see that you are using scrot to take the actual screenshot. Can you also support Gnome Screenshot?

I pretty like that one because it allows you to select an area which to grab which is not supported by scrot, I guess?

scrot --select

Thanks, but Sour seems to be broken:

[orschiro@thinkpad ~]$ sour -s
ERROR: url too large or equal to zero
