The ability to take a screenshot directly on a device can be used for debugging and documentation, e.g. in posts to this forum. The iLiad already has
fbshot, but its recommended use is via ssh from a PC. What I am requesting is a single click way to get a screenshot. For example, on the Nokia 770 there is a combined
CPU/Mem/Screenshot applet. It is always on the screen, so a screenshot is one click away. I think this would be useful enough for iRex user support that its availability should be guaranteed. So I suggest adding it to the battery status indicator. Another option might be to add it to a clock.
A simple shell script wrapper might be enough, but the "single app" nature of the iLiad would then need a delayed shot to allow you to switch back to the screen you want.
In any case, the standard way to get unique filenames is to include the date:
Code:
fbshot SS_`date +%y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S`.png
