maim (make image) takes screenshots of your desktop. It has options to take only a region, and relies on slop to query for regions. maim is supposed to be an improved scrot.
OS : Arch
WM : i3 (4.18)
Installed from : AUR / Manual Build
version : maim (5.5.3), slop(7.4)
When calling maim without any options and arguments its simply print the help page.
thats because When I tell maim to capture full screen and pipes its output to clipboard : maim | xclip -selection clipboard -t image/pngmaim pipes out the help page and doesn't pipe the output of image into xclip
but when i tell maim to select a area and pipes out to xclip its fine
maim -s | xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png
why maim doesn't work when its called without arguments and options to take full screen shot?
