My Screenshot Tool

This is a temporary page :)

While working on Maemo port of FBReader, I wanted to grab nice pictures to attract attention of people who might be interested in the program/port. (These can be found here and here.)

Here is the tool that was used for obtaining screenshots: mst-0.4.tar.gz

After download type make to get the executable.

The usage is pretty simple: just type ./mst. You should see something like:

$ ./mst
MST: will serve /home/mss/MyDocs/.images
Firing up MST...
Attempting to use port 10101 .. Success!
MST started. Please point your browser at http://localhost:10101

Now point your favourite browser to the specified port (you do not have to run it on this very computer!) and you are done.

Note: the data directory is not created by the application. The directory name is default for the images directory on Nokia 770.

Important: many things are hardcoded. Sorry about that. I needed to grab screenshots and this is a tool that came out of my needs.

Thanks go to:

Mathew Allum for didiwiki (the http code was borrowed from there)
Tommi Komulainen for the code that actually saves the png file (this was an internal tool he originally created)
