Today’s useless crack

For some reason a lot of what I do in the day involves taking screenshots of applications at various stages and then using GIMP on those shots to create storyboards and other things like sequences.

I’ve been getting tired of trying to figure out what I named those screenshots afterward when I go to open them up so I hacked the gnome-panel-screenshot app so it grabs the window title name instead of the window class name. This makes screenshots like Screenshot-Google Search: jdub gman.png instead of something like Screenshot-Epiphany-bin-1.png

Here’s the bug I filed with the patch. I’m not going to claim that this will be more useful to anyone else but me, however I think it’s pretty nice for what I do and figured I’d at least share the love. :-)
