In case you experience any issues that escrotum does not work: Recently Python got updated to 3.10 which means that all Python packages must be rebuilt. So please rebuild this package and it will work again.

Since the latest update I get the following error when I try to start escrotum:

you can add python2-numpy as an opt. dependancy: https://github.com/Roger/escrotum/blob/a756b2e142d9d9a162a2390cbf70a6bd63b8f0c2/escrotum/utils.py#L87-L92

Roger, it's working beautifully! Many thanks. p.s. typo in help output for "-s" of "rectnagle".

fabertawe, nice bug, was using the colormap from the wrong window, should be fixed

Roger, many thanks for the quick response! It's working for a whole screen snap but windowed results in this error - $ escrotum -s '/dev/shm/%d%m%y-%s.png' /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/escrotum/main.py:216: GtkWarning: gdkpixbuf-drawable.c:1257: Depth of the source drawable is 32 where as the visual depth of the colormap passed is 24 width, height) Invalid Pixbuf

fabertawe, can you try now? python2-distribute(setuptools) is a dependence, also added git in makedepends

fabertawe commented on 2014-02-25 11:11 (UTC)

Hi, git should be in "makedepends". Also, I can't run it at all, getting this error - Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/escrotum", line 5, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point ImportError: No module named pkg_resources Cheers.
