            Bug ID: 16343
           Summary: I want to take screenshots triggered by a hotkey and
                    they shall be named by timestamp
    Classification: Apps
           Product: Xfce4-screenshooter
           Version: 1.8.2
          Hardware: PC (x86_64)
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: Adalbert.Hanssen at gmx.de
  Target Milestone: ---

On Windows it is possible to press Windows+print to generate screenshots whose
names are such that they have the date and time in them and they are made such
that they automatically are ordered in the file browser.

Such a function is very practical if you try out things and want to follow up
what you have done. Also want to show some actions to someone else, with such a
tool you can provide him the sequence of screenshots as a reminder.

I have tried to achieve the same goal with the version of xfce4-screenshooter
packaged with Xubuntu 18.04, i.e. with xfce4-screenshooter 1.8.2, but I did not
achieve the goal to let it do all of its work just after it is called. I called
it this way from a terminal:

`v at v:~$ xfce4-screenshooter -mw -s ~/tmp

(xfce4-screenshooter:11349): Gtk-WARNING **: 13:17:55.637: Im Modulpfad
»hcengine« konnte keine Themen-Engine gefunden werden,
v at v:~$ `


But it just stops and wants me to approve or change the filename it has chosen,
e.g.

Bildschirmfoto_2020-01-07_13-17-55.png

The filename is perfectly ok and there is little chance that it will conflict
with an existing file. I am almost at my goal, I just have to press `Speichern`
in the dialogue. However if I am trying something or explain something to
someone, these dialogues annoy and I want them to be asserted by default. 

Probably my desire could be fulfilled if xfce4-screenshooter would have an
option to silently do its job without asking any question. Possibly it is
already there but just missing in the online help ...
