Custom 'Save to folder' menu items

Open aurovrata opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, first of all thank you very much for this lovely extension, I must be usign it at least 3 or 4 times a day on average, sometimes more. It comes in so handy!

I have to maintain some wikis for some coding projects. I use screenshots (select area) to illustrate part of the wiki page instructions. I have to select an area and then use the 'Save as...' button in the menu to save it as image in the wiki github repo, which is time consuming.

How difficult would it be to enable a custom menu item creator, allowing a 'Save to Wiki' or 'Save to myFolder' button to be added which one could configure to auto-save to that folder using a similar name template used for the Screenshot folder?

If this is something you don;t have time to look into, could you give me a few pointers as to how which files would need to modified to achieve this. I'd be happy to give it a try and do a PR on my fork should I be successful.

I am currently working on a feature for custom commands: https://github.com/OttoAllmendinger/gnome-shell-screenshot/issues/15

I am pretty sure that with a bit of effort the custom command can be a save/copy dialog. I think this would address your use case as well.
