Screenshot tool for Gnome

February 17th 2008 01:29 pm

Desktop Data Manager is superb tool; providing a clipboard manager, a screenshot taking app that allows you to select regions and a reasonable download manager. I mainly use the screenshot tool at the moment.

From their page:

Clipboard Manager

  • Clipboard history for a customized number of entries
  • Separate list for CLIPBOARD (Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V) and PRIMARY (Middle Mouse Button)
  • Displays text and images inline
  • Converts HTML/FTP/… links (in fact any link that is supported through GnomeVFS) to images which can be pasted into any application
  • Images can be pasted as a new file by simply using Ctrl+V
  • Customizable keyboard shortcuts
  • Extensible through plugins

Screenshot-Taking Applications

  • Take screenshots of single window, single subwindow, selected rectangle or the whole desktop
  • Seamless operation with the clipboard manager

Download Manager

  • Continuation (Pause and Continue downloads)
  • Threaded/Segmented downloading
  • HTTP/HTTPS/FTP protocol support
  • MD5/SHA1 checksum calculation
  • Downloading from multiple mirrors

What sets DDM apart from Klipper/Glipper/…

  • Inline display of images
  • “Creators” enable Copy and Paste for files and their content in both direction (see screenshots page for details)
  • Screenshot-Taking Application enables copy of mages out of e.g. a PDF files directly into any other application or in a file
