This can also act as an auto-save feature if the delay is zero. It
also adds more signals. These signals are intended for creating
notifications. `awful` cannot safely depend on `naughty`, so this
intergration will have to be done by the users.
* Fix all warnings
* Make indentation consistent across the file
* Simplify/unify the validation (use `error()` rather
than try to silently fix problems, move to setters)
and fallback code (move to the getters rather than...
everywhere)
* Write the documentation
* Finish the tests
* Remove unnecessary constructors
* Remove path builder because it belongs in
`gears.filesystem` and wasn't really used anyway
* Add more properties and a beautiful variable to
replace `set_defaults` and hardcoded values.
* Replace callbacks with signals (common pattern
in modern AwesomeWM APIs)
* Moved from `os.date` to GLib and some boilerplate
code to make Debian devs less angry
* Changed the way the snipping tool selection wibox works.
Now it freeze the screenshot before the selection.
The old way had a bunch of side effects for things
like Qt/GTK comboboxes. It also could crash.
There will still be one more commit to replace some of the screenshot
module code with available functionality from gears (e.g. the filesystem
module).
screenshot API. It extends a prior commit which extended the lower level
content API, which had been a property of the client object but is now
available as a property of the screen object and a method of the root
object.
This commit creates a new screenshot module for the awful module. The
public functions include root(), screen(), client(), snipper(), and
snip(). These take root window, screen, and client window screenshots,
launch an interactive snip tool for cropped screenshots, and take a
cropped screenshot of a geometry passed by argument, respectively. The
init() function is also available for configuration. Using this library
is more appropriate for the average rc.lua.
Since the API is new, this commit does not include any changes to
rc.lua. The developers can modify rc.lua when there is sufficient
confidence in API stability and robustness.
lib/awful/init.lua is modified so that the awful module includes the new
lib/awful/screenshot.lua submodule.
