Scrot - the way you want it.

[Sector11]

I recently took three screenshots of a screenshot downloading; when it started, in the middle and when it ended and looked at them:

• 2013-04-06--1365263953_1920x1080_scrot.png
  
• 2013-04-06--1365264079_1920x1080_scrot.png
  
• 2013-04-06--1365264093_1920x1080_scrot.png
  
  And it struck me - what the hell are those 136526**** numbers.  Looking at scrots manpage I see it's the size of the image in "bytes" do I really need that?
  
  

  $f image path/filename (ignored when used in the filename)
         $n image name (ignored when used in the filename)
         $s image size (bytes) (ignored when used in the filename)
         $p image pixel size
         $w image width
         $h image height
         $t image format
         $$ prints a literal '$'
         \n prints a newline (ignored when used in the filename)

  
  In my OpenBox menu for "Now" I use scrot like this:
  
  Code Select Expand
  scrot '%Y-%m-%d--%s_$wx$h_scrot.png' -e 'mv $f ~/images/ & gthumb ~/images/$f'
  
  and again the manpage:
  

  Characters preceded by a '%' are interpretted by strftime(2).

  
  AHA!
  
  %Y-%m-%d can be reduced to %F
  and then add:
  %T = HH:MM:SS
  
  I like that better ... $hx$w is good then end with _Sector11.png and I have:
  
  Code Select Expand
  %F_%T_$wx$h_Sector11.png
  
  and I get:
  2013-04-06_14:46:28_1920x1080_Sector11.png
  
  Much better:  date-time-size-and by who:
  
• 2013-04-06_14:52:27_1920x1080_Sector11.png
  
• 2013-04-06_14:52:48_1920x1080_Sector11.png
  
• 2013-04-06_14:54:29_1920x1080_Sector11.png
  
  OK, that's an opinion.
