Do Screenshot and open Xnview

[Timur]

I take screenshots often, now after that I need to open Xnview to paste it.
Hiopefully there can be a parameter so that Xnvie takes screenshot and then this can be assigened to a shortcut key.
Like this: xnview -capture=screenshot.

[xnview]

you have already a -capture parameter

Sorry, I do not understand.
I saw -capture for window or desktop but not for taking and importing a screenshot.
xnview-capture just opens xnview, does not take screenshot.

[xnview]

Code: Select all

xnview -capture=desktop

should make a screenshot

Code: Select all

xnview -capture=desktop

should make a screenshot

Thank you @xnview but this does not work for me in Linux Mint 21.1 with Cinnamon, it just opens empty Xnview MP.
If XnView is already is running, command makes a screenshot but does not import into XnView.
I see that button inside Xnview is working, but that is not it: https://www.xnview.com/wiki/index.php/Capture.
It would be very useful if a single global command could start @XnView, make a screenshpt and import it into XnView.
