Screenshots for a Beginner

[gandalfi]

Hello, 

 

I've been using Quicksilver since almost the beginning and I've been looking at different tools to replace QS.  I know I can make a screenshot go to the clipboard OR save the file via a command line script but I cannot see any workflows here that let you do both at the same time.  Maybe I just need to be better at the command line, idk.  Anyway that seems about the last piece of the QS->Alfred puzzle for me.  

 

Any help?

 

P.S.  I suppose I could ask about showing the bezel when you change the system volume settings too.

There you go. The trick is to first save it as a file then read it as image data into the clipboard. One could also do the reverse.

I don’t know what you’re asking there.

When you change the volume/brightness using the built in keyboard shortcuts, it shows you a modal window that pops up in the middle of the screen showing you what your volume/brightness settings are.  Using an Alfred system hotkey, you don't get to see this, so it's hard to tell what your volume is before you start playing something.

I doubt that’s possible. I have never seen a tool which changes the system volume and shows that indicator. If you find a command-line utility or command which does it, we can help you integrate it.

Thanks!
