Delay selection screenshot #200

Closed maojunxyz closed 4 years ago

maojunxyz commented 4 years ago

I'm a bit confused when using delayed screenshots.

Peek 2020-02-22 21-05

When you enter the following command: 

$ maim  -s -d 3 foo.png

The screenshot will take effect immediately instead of delaying the screenshot first. And after the screenshot, the delay started to work.

What should I do to delay the time before take the screenshot? now I write the command in the script, with the sleep command in front.

OS:Archlinu wm:Bspwm terninal:termite maim: v5.5.3

I think this is the intended way to delay screenshot selection tool. The -d option of maim is useful when you want to select region first, but take actual screenshot later.
