How can I take screenshot of an entire folder in Nemo ?

Post by Lovelorn »

Hi There ...

I tested many distros and I loved Cinnamon from first so about 10 month I was on Debian 9.3 and 9.4 Cinnamon ; But it's very old !

I came back to Linux Mint and I'm satisfied ....

Just how can I use a script on Nemo ? for take an screenshot of an entire folder ?

I download zip file of take-screenshot-nemo-master of github and copied folder to the script folder of Nemo , It's found and enabled ; But don't know how it works ...

I appreciate for Your guidance to scripts of Nemo

Linux Mint 19 - 64 bit
Intel G3220
nVidia G210

Update and Upgrade regularly .....

Internet search tells that this post is the only place where the string "take-screenshot-nemo-master" appears.

What's the correct name of the software you downloaded?
Please edit your original post title to include [SOLVED] if/when it is solved!

It's a plug-in ... But I copied the folder to the plug-in folder too ... But it doesn't show up
Must be compiled with npm and node.js .... Node.js warned me You already have the plug-in compiled ( But I never did it and Nemo has not the plug-in by default ) npm doesn't compile too .... In ReadMe.md wrote a command which is unrecogizable command for npm .... So it returns error .....

I'll be glad to guide me to how must use Scripts or Plug-Ins .... Cause Cinnamon have them precompiled and preinstalled by default ..... But I need this ......

Thanks

This repo is nothing to do with Nemo the file manager - it is a plug-in for Nemo.js - http://nemo.js.org/ - something completely different.

What's wrong with the default screenshot tool?
For custom Nemo actions, useful scripts for the Cinnamon desktop, and Cinnamox themes visit my Github pages.

In some folders that You must scroll to see entire folder , If You take screenshot , It only take the monitor's content ( Desktop or Nemo etc ) Not entire folder ....

I want something like screenshot tool in Vivaldi browser or Extension in Chrome to take entire page's , shot .......

Is there any tool ? Cause as I searched and saw them , There was none to do this ......

Thanks

Gotcha,

See https://askubuntu.com/questions/231757/ ... ng-windows

One of the responses notes that this might be possible with the Shutter screenshot app plus a plugin...

Let us know how you get on.

Thank You , Sir for Your attention

But as You know Nemo has feature for chosing Icon for folders ( like many other file managers ) . I use usually XnViewMP and some times gThumb's variation on Cinnamon ( I forgot its name ) ..... They can't accept icons for folder preview ..... As shutter can't too ......

I would take an screenshot of my Celebrities folder ......

I guess there's not any hope ? right ?

I must merge shots in image editor by my own ........

From what I understand, you'd like to take a directory shot, not a screen shot. Correct?
