lescreenshot

Shell script for easy and fast uploading of a screenshot. (Uses screencapture for taking a screenshot, which is a OS X default tool)

Grabs a screenshot or takes a existing image as input, gives it a nice unique generated name, uploads it and fills the clipboard with the image URL.

If installed Growl will inform you that the screenshot URL is ready for pasting.

Usage

./lescreenshot

Take a screenshot and upload it, no questions asked.

./lescreenshot ~/Downloads/animage001.png

Upload an existing image.

./lescreenshot p

Take a screenshot and open it for further editing in Pixelmator, quit Pixelmator to start the upload.

Paramenters

• one or more filenames
• full - create a fullscreen screenshot of the main display (the one with the menubar)
• partial - select an area of the screen to be photocopied
• t - gives you 5 seconds before the screenshot is actually taken, e.g. usefull for pulling up menues
• imgtag - Copy an tag to your clipboard instead of the raw URL
• bbtag - as above, but with bb [img] tag
• Editors:
  • s - Skitch.app (I like its arrows..)
  • ps - Good old Photoshop CS6
  • p - Pixelmator.app
  • Edit the script of different editors.

Parameters can be mixed, but not with filenames right now

Configuration

Either edit the variables in the script or set enviroment variables.

$lescreenshot_folder
$lescreenshot_scphost
$lescreenshot_scpdirectory
$lescreenshot_webpath
$lescreenshot_octopressdirectory 
$lescreenshot_type

Since arrays are a bug of hurt you can set the image editors only inside the script itself.
