i was originally gonna make it a TUI, but somehow ended up building a desktop application instead.

almost ready to share.

CapScroll Scrolling Screenshots for Linux

i built CapScroll, a Linux desktop screenshot tool for capturing long, scrollable content.

Select a region and CapScroll automatically scrolls the content, captures successive frames, detects the bottom, checks frame overlap, and stitches everything into one long screenshot.

- region capture
- scrolling capture

» Built with .NET 10 and Avalonia UI.

» Currently supports Linux/X11.

» repo: https://github.com/netcrawlerr/CapScroll

dont forget to leave a ⭐️

long screenshot of the repo. open it outside of telegram for better quality

im so gonna abuse this app

btw CapScroll's scrolling capture was inspired by the same feature that exists in ShareX for Windows

ShareX is arguably the best screen capture tool out there with practically every type of capture you could ever need, but Linux support doesn't even occur to the devs.

despite it has forks of it and someone already porting it for potential cross-platform use, imo, it's one of those FOSS tools that has no true 1:1 alternative on Linux.

Distro Worship Syndrome (DWS) /DISS-troh WUR-ship SIN-drome/

A chronic condition common among Linux users, where a person becomes absurdly obsessed with their chosen operating system distribution, treating it like a religion while starting useless online wars over package managers and software choice instead of actually getting any real work done.

GOD DAMN !!!! , look at that shot.

vlcsnap btw

CapScroll was x11-only, but Wayland support was imperative and i started implementing it.

while x11 was straightforward via direct

libX11

P/Invoke calls, wayland is a bit restrictive. it prevents direct global input access and screen capture.

fortunately, early architectural choice to decouple the capture backends from the core engine paid off, managed to make the wayland support work.

however, unlike x11 which auto-scrolls, wayland still needs your intervention to scroll manually when taking scrolling captures.
