How to get the ultimate screenshot functionality in Ubuntu with Compiz, Pinta, and our old friend BASH

STEP ONE: Create a screenshot folder and sound effects folder.  Mine is /media/DATA/Screenshots but yours could be ~/Documents/Screenshots

Copy and paste into a terminal

mkdir ~/Documents/Screenshots

mkdir ~/Videos/Sound_effects

STEP TWO: Enable Compiz Screenshots and PNG

STEP THREE: Install Pinta and Mplayer if you have not done so already

Copy and paste into a terminal:

sudo apt-get install pinta mplayer

STEP FOUR: Create a bin folder in Documents

Copy and paste into a terminal:

mkdir ~/Documents/bin

STEP FIVE: Create a BASH script in the bin folder

Copy and paste into a terminal:

gedit ~/Documents/bin/compiz-screenshot.sh

And paste the following text in:

#!/bin/bash

#compiz-screenshot.sh

#Released under a GPLv3 Licence by Clockwork PC http://www.clockworkpc.com.au

# Change into the Screenshots folder

cd /media/DATA/Screenshots

# Renaming the most recent PNG file in the directory

mv `ls -alt | grep png | head -n 1 | awk '{print $8}'` Screenshot_on_$(date +%F_%A_at_%H:%M:%S).png &

# Playing a camera click sound

mplayer $HOME/Videos/Sound_effects/camera1.wav &&

pinta `ls -alt | grep png | head -n 1 | awk '{print $8}'`

STEP 6: Make the script executable

Copy and paste into a terminal:

chmod +x ~/Documents/bin/compiz-screenshot.sh

STEP 7: Make a symlink in /usr/local/binCopy and paste into a terminal:

sudo ln -s ~/Documents/bin/compiz-screenshot.sh /usr/local/bin/compiz-screenshot.sh

sudo chmod +x ~/Documents/bin/compiz-screenshot.sh

STEP 8: Change settings in Compiz Screenshot according to this image

STEP 9: Download you desired sound effect, and save it to ~/Videos/Sound_effects and rename it to camera1.wav

OR

Change line 13 in ~/Documents/bin/compiz-screenshot.sh to point to the correct file.

And when you hold down the Super/Windows key and select a portion of the screen you'll get a perfectly detailed file, a camera click, and Pinta will open with it ready for you to edit.
