osx screencapture bug about screenfetch HOT 9 CLOSED

Please let me know if this is fixed. :)

from screenfetch.

This is very much not fixed, as should be evident by the fragment

"${shotfile} 2>dev/null"

Problems are as follows

• "2>dev/null" is relative and not absolute, so it would only work assuming you have a dev directory in your current working directory and then errors would be redirected into a file called null within that directory. That first slash is quite a devil. However, this problem doesn't even arise because...
• It's in quotes with $shotfile, so if $shotfile is screen.png, screencapture is now trying to create an image called "screen.png 2>dev/null" which errors out because forward slashes can't be in filenames.

And so the line should be

if [ "$distro" == "Mac OS X" ]; then screencapture -x -T 3 "${shotfile}" &> /dev/null

Ah, yes. My bad. Check referenced commit.

It does take a screenshot now when -s is specified.
Is any text output expected? I'm not sure if scrot outputs anything or not, so I don't know what to add to emulate it.

Edit: scrot's man page says that the -cd3 included in screenfetch's call of scrot should make it display a "countdown"
OS X currently just awkwardly waits for three seconds in silence before taking a screenshot

from screenfetch.

scrot does have a countdown.

It will say "Taking shot in 3.. 2.. 1.. 0"

It starts at n and appends "n-x.. " for every second in the countdown. Screenshot is saved on count 0.

Okay, full scrot mimicry should be able to be achieved with the following line

if [ "$distro" == "Mac OS X" ]; then printf "Taking shot in 3.. "; sleep 1; printf "2.. "; sleep 1; printf "1.. "; sleep 1; printf "0.\n"; screencapture -x "${shotfile}" &> /dev/null

Just for the default screenshot action at least, which I think is all that's needed to be provided by screenfetch

See commit fe5dc7b and test, please.

Works beautifully.

Fantastic. Consider this closed.
