lecture screenshot utility

Primary LanguagePython

Bilder

Bilder pron: builder is a cross-platform screenshot utility, orginally intendet for saving live lecture screenshots conviniently via an easy to use keybind. Though I guess it can really be used for anything. It supports multiple monitors. Take screenshots of all, or just one. Will automatically switch monitors, if selected one is disconnected.

Features

  • multi-monitor support
  • cross-platform (linux + win)
  • wacky key combinations
  • auto detect existing folders

Installation

  1. Download the git repository
  2. Install python3 if not preinstalled
  3. Install dependecies via pip3 install -r requirements.txt
  4. Create pics/ folder in script folder

Usage

  1. Run Script with python3 bilder.py
  2. Enter Lecture name, or any other name. Will be grouped in folders
  3. Enter Monitor (will only show up, if multiple monitors were detected)
  4. Press L + CTRL_R or L + ALT_R. Note: You have to press the L key first! °

° don't ask me why. It's a "feature".

FAQ

Can you change the keybindings?

Yes, if you edit the python file. Simply change the COMBINATIONS list, to whatever you desire.

HELP! I get an Error

Try to delete the entire folder, and carefully follow the installation steps. If the error still persits open an Issue, stating your problem, platform, and Error/Traceback as clearly as possible.

Dependency installation fails under Windows

Try using py -m pip instead of pip3.

Why such strange combination?

Because none of my applications have default keybinds for that specifc combination.

Will there be updates?

If you find breaking bugs which I can replicate, I will try to push new updates to solve them. But probably not more features.

Can I add a pull-requst?

I won't stop you.
