Add --format flag #262

Fixes: #241

guijan commented 1 year ago

Scrot's option naming and syntax are a horrible mess, this would make "-F" specify an output file and "-O" specify the file format. Can we just fix the bug and think about slowly switching to more sensible option names instead of adding yet another bad one even if the feature itself is good?

Edit: could keep this as a long option only for now, --format is a good option name for this, -O is not

-O is not

Yeah, I can agree. I wanted -f or -F but both was taken.
