Most of the information below regarding KSnapshot/DBus was found in the KSnapshot Help Handbook. DCOP was just replaced with DBus commands.

My question is: If snapshot Delay is set to 0, meaning "capture on click", when a bash script executes the slotGrab method, is there a resource the script can wait on so it knows when the user has clicked?

Code: Select all

 
snippet:
  qdbus org.kde.ksnapshot-${ksnapshotPID} /KSnapshot setGrabMode 4
  qdbus org.kde.ksnapshot-${ksnapshotPID} /KSnapshot setTime 0
  qdbus org.kde.ksnapshot-${ksnapshotPID} /KSnapshot setURL ...
  qdbus org.kde.ksnapshot-${ksnapshotPID} /KSnapshot slotGrab
  wait ??
  qdbus org.kde.ksnapshot-${ksnapshotPID} /KSnapshot slotSave


Any thoughts?

Thank you.

It appears that this isn't possible, however it could be that slotGrab() simply waits until the user has made a selection.

Thank you.

Someone made a suggestion, that the script could possibly wait on the file creation (slotGrab, slotSave).
