Subject: [Discuss] Demise of ksnapshot in Ubuntu, and probably
everywhere eventually<br>

<div>I have used ksnapshot as my main tool for capturing parts of
my desktop screen. I was surprised to find that it no longer
exists in the repositories for the latest version of the Ubuntu
family (16.10). It took me a while to track down the information
that it has been deleted, and that the recommended replacement
is kde-spectacle (just search for spectacle in the Software
Center, Synaptic or do sudo apt-get install spectacle {or it
might be kde-spectacle} in a terminal. It is functionally quite
similar to ksnapshot except that, as far as I can tell with the
limited amount of time I have played with it, saving is only to
/home/Pictures and the only format is .png. I think I could
select the directory to which the image would be stored, and I
also think that the image could be saved in almost any image
format. </div>
