Free screen captures software for linux

screen-scraper project is a tool used to extract data from web sites. You might use screen-scraper for the following purposes:
- Data Mining and Extraction
- Data Migration
- Application Integration
- Business Intelligence
- Web Task Automation
- Portal Components
- Meta-Searching
- Archiving
The screen-scraper application consists of two primary pieces:
- Workbench: A graphical user interface provides an intuitive approach that allows you to designate pages and specific pieces of information to be extracted.
- Server: After using the workbench to designate the data to be scraped, screen-scraper can be run in a server mode, much like a database. External applications can then connect to screen-scraper, which will pull data off of the designated web sites, then return them to the calling application. For example, you might build a web-based application using Active Server Pages (ASP) or PHP that invokes screen-scraper to search for products found on an external web site in real-time.
Additionally, screen-scraper can be started in a non-graphical mode from the command line such that it can be scheduled or invoked on-demand.
screen-scraper can automate many of the tasks typically required when scraping data from web pages, such as tracking cookies, logging in to web sites, and traversing search results pages.
Depending on the programming languages and platforms you most prefer, screen-scraper is likely to be familiar to you. screen-scraper contains an internal scripting engine that supports:
- VBScript
- JScript
- Perl
- Interpreted Java
- JavaScript
- Python
When invoking screen-scraper externally take your pick from the following languages:
- Java
- PHP
- Anything COM-based (such as Active Server Pages, Visual Basic, and Visual C++)
- .NET (both Microsoft-based and Mono)
- Cold Fusion
Enhancements:
- Several bugfixes and minor features have been added, including automatic backup of the database, enhanced HTML rendering and HTML stripping, fixing an error that caused duplicate scripts to appear at times on import, and fixing multiple errors relating to international character sets and non-ASCII characters.

Xtra Screen Hacks is a collection of graphics display modes that are meant to be run with a daemon such as XScreenSaver.

"Daisy" draws spinning flowers, and "Twinkle" draws a twinkling star field.

Compilation of Xtra Screen Hacks depends only on xlib.

Installation:

The configure script is not up and running yet, so the Makefiles and config.h are hacked versions of the ones xscreensavers configure script generated on the authors machine. If your system differs from the authors (i686 Debian GNU/Linux) then the build will probably not work for you, unless you hack the Makefiles and possibly config.h to modify the variables and defines.

If the Makefiles and config.h are ok, then simply run

$ make

to generate the binaries. They will be in the hacks directory.
If you have a copy of XScreensaver installed from the tarball, run

$ make install

If not, you will need to copy the files to their target directories by hand. Search for deluxe, deluxe.xml, and deluxe.1 (or deluxe.man, deluxe.6x.gz, etc) using locate, find, or whereis to figure out where they should go. The binaries and xml files must be in the correct directories
to work properly with xscreensaver-demo.

You will need to add entries to your .xscreensaver file by hand. Open $HOME/.xscreensaver in your favorite text editor and paste the following two lines into the "programs" section:

--snip----------------
- daisy -root n
- twinkle -root n
--snip----------------

Then run xscreensaver-demo to activate and configure the hacks.

If you dont have XScreensaver at all, just enjoy the hacks in an X window.

If make install worked for you, type

$ make uninstall

when you no longer want the new screen hacks.

Full Screen is an extension which provides a fulscreen button on the toolbar.

Adds Full Screen toolbar button and context menu command.

After installing use View / Toolbars / Customize... to add the button to the toolbar.

reset-screen is a very simple Qt 4 program that displays a simple cross hatch pattern on your monitor.

Why is this useful? Well, it makes the auto-sync feature of the flat panel LCD monitors out there both faster and more accurate (well, for mine anyways).

I have to run this every other time I start KDE so I figure others may find it useful as well.

This isnt really useful for laptop users I think, but you may need it. Who knows? :)

This is a very simple program, which a very simple build system.

Test::Tester::Capture is a help testing test modules built with Test::Builder.

This is a subclass of Test::Builder that overrides many of the methods so that they dont output anything.

It also keeps track of its own set of test results so that you can use Test::Builder based modules to perform tests on other Test::Builder based modules.

Amarok Full Screen provides a full screen front end for Amarok.

The look can be changed by custom THEMES.

Remote Capture for Canon PowerShot cameras project is a tool for controlling Canon PowerShot cameras.
The following cameras were reported to work with Capture. Please send a report to extend the list.
Canon PowerShot S50
Canon PowerShot A60
Canon PowerShot A70
Canon PowerShot A75
Canon PowerShot A80
Canon PowerShot A85
Canon PowerShot A95
Canon PowerShot A510
Canon PowerShot A520
Canon PowerShot G6
Canon Digital IXUS 400 (aka PowerShot S400)
Canon PowerShot S410
Canon PowerShot S500
The main advantage of Capture over gPhoto is that the consecutive shots are taken without the camera lenses being closed and opened again. When taking several thousand shots in a row, this indeed lets the camera live longer.
Enhancements:
- This release adds some minor enhancements and fixes.
- The code is stable.
