it's nice that shotman puts the files in my screenshot folder out of the box and that there's a way to override those defaults... but it doesn't look like there's a way to actually pick the actual file name, which seems to be autogenerated.
could it be possible to add an arbitrary --file argument, that bypasses the environment/defaults lookups entirely?
this would be essential to hook shotman into my current screenshot/pastebin framework (pubpaste)...
alternatively, i could parse the --verbose
output, but that seems much clunkier... other screenshot tools (e.g. grim) provide such a functionaliy, which makes it easy to hook into...
could this be done here too?
thanks!
I want to think about it a bit more. It sounds like a reasonable request, but I'm also considering an
--stdout
flag which pipes the image to stdout — this can be used to write into any file location but also some other exotic situations. Not entirely sure which form I prefer the most.
makes sense, although i'd argue for
--file -
in that case. :p
