Is there a program like psr.exe on Ubuntu Linux?

Question

For localization purposes I want to capture a bunch of screenshots from a Linux program. On Windows I was used to use Problem Steps Recorder which automatically saves screenshots from every dialog I visited. Is there a similar program on Linux? Ideal would be an automation of the workflow with resulting screenshots of every page and dialog correctly named and saved.

Answer 1

I have made one called xsr (X Steps Recorder). You can get it here, but keep in mind that it's still in development.

Answer 2

I'm not aware of an automated tool to do the job, but screenshots are easy enough.

The PrintScreen button, on your keyboard, will snapshot the entire screen and save it to a file in your Pictures folder.

Alternatively, AltPrintScreen will snapshot just the focused window.

These instructions are correct for Gnome, and I believe Ubuntu Unity does the same. Other desktop environments may vary, but most provide something similar.
