Copy screenshots and organize.

Project description

screenshot-manager

Rename and copy screenshot/screencast into a single folder to organize screenshots for different platforms and file types.

Why?

I usually take screenshot/screencast just for logging in daily basis. It is quite useful if we put them in a single folder or cloud service (ie. Google Drive) to synchronize them among multiple devices and platforms. However, sometimes this is difficult because of the default saving location of screenshot (ie. ~/Desktop on macOS) and difference of the name (ie. Screenshot from %Y-%m-%d %H-%M-%S.png on Ubuntu and Screen Shot %Y-%m-%d at %H.%M.%S.png, Kapture %Y-%m-%d at %H.%M.%S.mp4 on macOS). This software serves some solutions for this with a simple Python script and Cron job.

How to use it?

First, you need to install the python script:

pip install git+https://github.com/wkentaro/screenshot-manager.git

Next, you run crontab -e to add the periodical job:

*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/screenshot-manager --to-location ~/GoogleDrive/Screenshots

That's it!

If you want to change some of the default behavior, please refer to Advanced usage.

Advanced usage

# To check the behavior.
screenshot-manager --verbose

# You can configure the source location and others.
# See screenshot-manager --help for more detail.
screenshot-manager --from-location ~/Documents ~/Desktop
screenshot-manager --from-format 'Video from %Y-%m-%d %H-%M-%S'
screenshot-manager --to-format '%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S'

Supported formats

If it is not supported, the screenshot will be just copied without renaming.
Please check output of screenshot-manager --verbose or screenshot_manager/cli.py to see the supported formats.
