MAIM User How to Page for HelloSystem live image booting from USB Flash drive

Change to root user 'su -' ; Install maim & xclip; exit back to liveuser user ; take a couple screen shots and then view your shot with the systems image viewer LXimageQT , geeqie, feh. You may also use scrot to take screen shots and use, feh or geeqie, to view picture screen shot files. I had trouble navigating to view the screen shots. Someone please comment how to use existing system to view screen shots, please. sudo i or su - to change into the 'ROOT' user for installing packages

sudo pkg install maim scrot feh geeqie

i am using the command: maim /home/$USER/ScreenShot_$(date +%s).png -s -o

Now to figure out how to view the screen shot xview? other? Caja file browser? to be edited with an answer.

Use existing internal LXimageQT viewer. From Desktop 'Go' file manager. or use console command line tool FEH to view an image. Scrot is very light weight Screen Shot creator. Geeqie is a nice Screen Shot picture viewer.

Xbindkeys setup

https://freebsd.pkgs.org/12/freebsd-amd64/xbindkeys-1.8.6_2.pkg.html https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2018/06/22/freebsd-desktop-part-9-key-components-keyboard-mouse-shortcuts/

https://major.io/p/i3-screenshot/ Blog Page describing using maim, xclip, bindsym

Here’s how I do it in i3:

bindsym Print exec maim -s -u | xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png -i Let’s break this down:

First, we use bindsym to bind the Print Screen (Print) key Hitting Print Screen runs maim and pops a selection crosshair (-s) and hides the cursor (u) Once the selection is made, the image pipes straight into xclip xclip stores the image in the clipboard with the image/png mime type I’m able to go to my favorite application or browser window with Slack, Discord, or Mastodon open and simply paste the image into my message. 🏁

I use LXImage. It comes already with HelloSystem.

Thanks, I appreciate the "Screen Shot" for taking a screen shot. As new user, I got lost on the menu system.

I did look under applications menu graphics. Saw Krita, but was looking for an image viewer application, which I did not find one to use. Then I use the Open Directory to see thumbnails and click on a photo to open in LXImageQT viewer. How to start the LXImageQT viewer from the menu? I was lost to do this a second time through the present menu system. Have a good day. Thanks for your beautiful screen shot creation, here online. Fred

IMaybe is not the right way but what I do is copying the apps into "Applications" folder or a subfolder inside it, then logout/login.

Eventually we want to bring screenshotting back to where it belongs, Command-Shift-3. It is currently missing (along with some other global shortcuts) due to the removal of LxQt's global shortcut daemon in favor of KDE's (which is needed for KWin anyway).
