Peek: Add an output flag

Created on 11 Dec 2016  ·  3Comments  ·  Source: phw/peek

Hello! I wanted to use peek in my image uploader, so I was wondering is there a possibility for something like peek -o OUTPUT.gif that will prompt to record a single gif and save it to OUTPUT.gif Thanks!

enhancement good first issue

Yes, specifying the file output could make sense. Will see if I can add it.

@seanmavley Not sure about that. I understand the idea here, but actually there are tools just for that. E.g. you can achieve scriptng like that with ffcast + ffmpeg. Does not really fit well into Peek, which really is supposed to be a GUI.

If terminal-only commands will be added, then I think recording time interval and perhaps dimensions should be specified too.

So something like:

peek -o OUTPUT.gif -t 10 -w 250 -h 250

where -o is output filename, -t is seconds to record, -w and -h is width and height in pixels respectively.

Or something along the lines of these

Seems good, but what I was thinking was still popping up the record screen and have it save by a terminal command. I still want it to be a user chosen area.

Great work by the way.
