KDE Screen Capture

I'm always looking for an easy way to do things. This morning I'm exploring an easy way to capture the KDE screen.

Here are the steps I use to capture my KDE screen as an image:

1. Find the KDE Kickoff Application Launcher. It's the KDE version of the Windows Start Button. Like the Start button, it is located in the lower lefthand corner of your screen.
2. Left click on the application launcher (start button).
3. A popup menu appears. Look for the search box at the top of the popup.
4. Type ksnapshot in the search box and hit the enter key
5. Click on Ksnapshot
6. A file dialog appears
7. Click on Save As
8. Save the screen capture wherever you want to under whatever name you want
9. Click Quit on the ksnapshot dialog to close it

The hardest part of of the above procedure is knowing what to call the screen capture application under KDE. It's called ksnapshot.

That so often happens. The concept is easy. It's knowing what to call it that is hard to remember.

For this reason, I'm constantly writing notes to myself about these sorts of things. I sometimes struggle to remember what to call it.
