How to I use snap2album with Erica's Utilities

[shawn o]

I haven't been able to find ANY documentation how to use this. I searched with "screenshot" and got 17 pages of results and only found references to command line utilities.

I installed it through installer and I see the files in the var/root/bin folder. I'm using WinSCP.

When I bring up a terminal in WinSCP (ctrl+T) and type snap2album I get this: (see below)

What am I missing here?

I really want to be able to take screenshots at will using WinSCP and am sick of using the dock app.

Thanks!!

you can run it with a full name or with a ./ in front when you are at the bin directory where it is loaded.

either
~/bin/snap2album
or
cd ~/bin
./snap2album
or
by modifying your path( as Erica says in the install), you could just type snap2album.

the snaps go into the camera's directory ~/Media/DCIM/100APPLE/

I use snap2album all the time!

What does that mean to "modify the path" ?

I tried what you suggested and got this:



I'm on 1.1.2 BTW. Thanks.

./snap2album


if you need more help, get me on IM.

I was under the inpression that you have to name the file? I get the same error w/o the lock though...

[jakecigar]

not with snap2album!

./snap2album
About to capture screen

You may have more problems than just snap2album. did you install the entire Erica's suite and BSD?? did you use installer?


again... I'm on IM... for a quicker reply.

I got it too work finally! Thanks alot. I reinstalled the BSDsubsystem package and then it worked...not sure what the issue was with it. I think originally I downloaded it while on edge so maybe it didn't install correctly or something.

Great!
I believe she uses some BSD commands in her code!
