Linux based applications
dhayfule:
Does Donation Coder plan to release a Linux version of the applications like Screenshot Captor, since I have transitioned from windows to Ubuntu and am feeling it to be a great transition.
Tuxman:
There is no application which is actually "based" on Linux...
For most apps there already is a great Linux alternative. The import command perfectly does everything you can expect from a screenshotting app...

Tuxman, I don't understand your reply. Could you elaborate?
dhayfule, congrats on the switch! Are you using Gnome or KDE (I presume Gnome since you said Ubuntu).

Mostly true. But I still wouldn't mind seeing a version of FARR come out for Linux ... :) ;)

Well then:
1) There is no application which is actually "based" on Linux...
Linux is a kernel. It could be hard to even imagine how an application should be based on it.
2) For most apps there already is a great Linux alternative.
Self-explaining.
3) The import command perfectly does everything you can expect from a screenshotting app...
Direct reply to the OP's request (Screenshot Captor). On Linux I take screenshots via import, it allows a wide variety of parameters and is usually a part of your distribution anyway.
