Release: 1.3.2

For installation instructions, follow the section in the README.

Additions

• Added a --hide option to minimize the active window when capturing begins.
  • This is useful in conjunction with --terminal to hide the newly created terminal.
  • This option adds xdotool as a dependency. If you do not want to use it this option or the active value of --display, then xdotool is not required.
• Added more terminal examples and options in the configuration file.
  • The current examples are gnome-terminal and urxvt. You are always free to edit these variables to support your own terminal.

Changes

• Changed the xclip optional dependency to xsel for more stability.

Fixes

• Fixed commands requiring a value (i.e. --display or --countdown) throwing an error if an operand is not provided.
• Fixed URLs not copying to the clipboard after the utility is finished using the --terminal option.

Release: 1.3.0

For installation instructions, follow the section in the README.

Additions

• Added a --dmenu option for selecting the output type.
  • Shorthand is -r. This option works with and requires dmenu or rofi.
• Added a --list-displays option for listing your available displays to capture from.
  • Shorthand is -l.
  • This can be combined with dmenu or rofi to select a display to capture. See below for an example using rofi.
    • $ gsu -l | rofi -dmenu | gsu -d
• Added a --notify option to display a notification when the utility is complete.
  • This option requires libnotify to be installed.
  • The notification will either have error info, the save location, or the uploaded URL.
• Added a --terminal option to open the utility in a new terminal.
  • This option is useful when running gsu from a headless utility, such as xbindkeys or your DE/WM's keybind manager.
  • The default is gnome-terminal. To change the terminal that is opened, uncomment and edit the GSU_TERM variable in the configuration. Be sure to have the terminal you want to use installed.
  • Caveats: If you do not use this option when running in headless utility, and you are taking a video or gif, you will be unable to stop recording unless you manually run killall ffmpeg.

Changes

• Allowed the --display option to read from stdin. If you are not piping into gsu, then the option will still require a value.
• Removed the requirement of an operand. If no operand/file is provided, gsu will output to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gsu/imgs, with a timestamp as the filename.

Release: 1.1.2

For installation instructions, follow the section in the README.

Additions

• Added an AUDIO option to the configuration.
  • This option will allow you to change audio devices from pulseaudio, which is now the default.

Fixes

• Fixed a minor lie in the configuration.

Release: 1.1.1

For installation instructions, follow the section in the README.

Fixes

• Fixed GIFs not capturing due to a forgotten case statement.

Release: 1.1.0

For installation instructions, follow the section in the README.

Additions

• Added a new --display option.
  • Set the selection to a specific display, whether it be a display number, the active display, or all displays.
• Added a check to prevent usage of invalid extensions if a custom command is not provided.

Changes

• FFmpeg now shows a border around your selection when capturing a video or a gif. The border itself is not visible in the resulting recording or gif.

Release: 1.0.1

For installation instructions, follow the section in the README.

Fixes

• Fixed the operand not accepting forward slashes, therefore breaking paths not in your current directory.
• Fixed no output when the operand has invalid characters.
