[tonytraductor] : This screenshot is the result of a days hacking, in response to a little challenge.

My nephew wrote this [http://staticfree.info/~samuel/nieuw/code/%|% this nifty little script %|%] little nifty script in perl that grabs a screen shot, and loads it to his webserver.
Not much to it, really, but, cool, anyway, since the kid's all of 16 (but a genius).

So, I looked at his script, and said, hmmm...I could do that in tcl/tk, wrap it in a gui, and give it more features.
Mine (which you can see in my text editor in the screenshot) waits the user configured delay, grabs a screenshot, then shows
the user a preview in a tcl/tk window, then allows the user to upload it to the server, then,
allows the user to open the url to which it has been uploaded in a browser, just to check it there,
and to get the url for quick posting to a blog or profile, etc. (ie. livejournal or myspace or some such nonsense).

The guys on #tcl at freenode were very helpful, however, so, I can't take all the credit.

My nephew's script uses scp to copy the file over to the remote server, and I was able to use
that here, to make an image and copy it to another machine on my network, but, my server
doesn't allow ssh access, so, I had to figure out how to do it with ftp.
Now, I've only used ftp with a gui client like gftp before.
I could have called on lftp, or something, but, I wanted to learn to do it the tcl way, and I did (with help).

2008.08.22 [tonytraductor] -  Since the original post, I have added the feature of allowing the user to save "profiles" (ie. server info, preferred browser, etc.),
and of allowing the user to set a delay before the shot is taken (to minimize the tclscreen window or make other changes, etc.)
prior to taking the screenshot, and the user may set the image dimension parameters.  08/23/08 - I added a button to the preview of the screenshot
to allow the user to open the image in GIMP for editing, too.
