Take screenshot from Kobo
Thanks to this link: http://www.cnx-software.com/2010/07/...er-screenshot/
we can make screenshot from our Kobo screen. * requires telnet run this command: Code:
cat /dev/fb0 > screen.raw Create a new perl script with this contents: Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w $w = shift || 240; $h = shift || 320; $pixels = $w * $h; open OUT, "|pnmtopng" or die "Can't pipe pnmtopng: $!\n"; printf OUT "P6%d %d\n255\n", $w, $h; while ((read STDIN, $raw, 2) and $pixels--) { $short = unpack('S', $raw); print OUT pack("C3", ($short & 0xf800) >> 8, ($short & 0x7e0) >> 3, ($short & 0x1f) << 3); } close OUT; after that run this: change the resolution to your Kobo screen (I have a kobo Glo) Code:
./FILE.SH 1024 758 < screen.raw > screen.png Last edited by koenieee; 01-04-2013 at 04:37 AM. |

Someone with telnet set up, you could use this technique to determine the Kobo Glo's maximum native image size and forward this information onto the Calibre developers in order to create an optomized Kobo Glo output profile.

I'm triggering the following script via an integrated webserver on the kobo touch... screenshots directly to the desktop ^^

Is there any easy-to-use-script for the Kobo Glo to get a screenshot directly to the desktop or a configurable folder on a pc?
I have no experience with the console at all. Or is there a calibre plugin which "pulls" a screenshot? Thanks. |

If you look at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=218376, one of the options is a screenshot. When you add:
Code:
[FeatureSettings] Screenshots=true |

If you use koreader and the multi touch modification, you can also take a screenshot inside koreader by pressing both diagonal corners.
It creates a pam-file in koreader/screenshots, which can be viewed and converted with a program like Imagemagick. Last edited by Markismus; 05-17-2014 at 07:58 AM. |

I have koreader installed, how do I enable the multitouch functionality ? Right now pressing diagonal corners doesn't create the screenshots :-(

Just swipe from bottom left to upper corner right. This will create a screenshot, which can be found in koreader/screenshots.

Even Gimp doesn't open .pam files in windows. What program do you recommend for opening such file formats in Windows?

You can use ImageMagick to open .pam files. http://www.imagemagick.org/script/bi...es.php#windows

Thank you everybody. Now it sometimes takes screenshots and sometimes doesn't! When e.g. I wanna take a screenshot from the opened dictionary, it doesn't take any snapshots.
