NAME
swappy - grab and edit on the fly snapshots of a Wayland compositor
SYNOPSIS
swappy [options...]
DESCRIPTION
swappy is a command-line utility to take and edit screenshots of Wayland desktops. Works great with grim, slurp and sway. But can easily work with other screen copy tools that can output a final image to stdout. swappy will save the annotated images to the config save_dir, see below. If absent, then if it will try to default to a Desktop folder following this pattern: $XDG_DESKTOP_DIR. If this variable is not set, it will revert to: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Desktop. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set, it will revert to: $HOME/Desktop.
OPTIONS
-h, --help Show help message and quit. -v, --version Show version and quit. -f, --file <file> An image file to load for editing. If set to -, read the file from standard input instead. This is grim friendly. -o, --output-file <file> Print the final surface to <file> when exiting the application. If set to -, prints the final surface to stdout. Note that the Save button will save the image to the config save_dir parameter, as described in the DESCRIPTION section.
CONFIG FILE
The config file is located at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/swappy/config or at $HOME/.config/swappy/config. The file follows the GLib conf format. [Section] key=value The following lines can be used as swappy's default: [Default] save_dir=$HOME/Desktop save_filename_format=swappy-%Y%m%d-%H%M%S.png show_panel=false line_size=5 text_size=20 text_font=sans-serif paint_mode=brush early_exit=false fill_shape=false • save_dir is where swappshots will be saved, can contain env variables, when it does not exist, swappy attempts to create it first, but does not abort if directory creation fails • save_filename_format is the filename template, if it contains a date format, this will be parsed into a timestamp. Format is detailed in strftime(3). If this date format is missing, filename will have no timestamp • show_panel is used to toggle the paint panel on or off upon startup • line_size is the default line size (must be between 1 and 50) • text_size is the default text size (must be between 10 and 50) • text_font is the font used to render text, its format is pango friendly • paint_mode is the mode activated at application start (must be one of: brush|text|rectangle|ellipse|arrow|blur, matching is case-insensitive) • early_exit is used to make the application exit after saving the picture or copying it to the clipboard • fill_shape is used to toggle shape filling (for the rectangle and ellipsis tools) on or off upon startup
