#450 Create system for automated screenshots capture
Closed: Invalid None Opened 10 years ago by jreznik.

For releases, screenshot creation depends mostly on volunteers with the need to cover many different options. As screenshots for spins, local Fedora webs looking for translated screenshots etc. It would be nice to have (semi)-automated system for screenshots capture.

Requirements - be able to take screenshot from all offered options we ship, in defined language (optionally for all language variants we offer for websites).

Implementation could be done through utilization of libvirt and dogtails scripts. I can even imagine generic Fedora screenshots capture system based on this effort for App Stream data screenshots creation even with some sort of joined effort with QA validation for Applications test case criteria (but this is now pretty much out of scope of initial project). But I can check with those parties too.


I'm not sure we can create scripts for this, but it would be awesome, although we have reduced the screenshots compared to our old websites.

Actually we have screenshots only for the Desktop Spins (spins.fpo), which are KDE, Xfce, LXDE, MATE-Compiz, Cinnamon, SoaS.

We don't use different resolutions, all screenshots have to be full HD: 1920x1080

We have just 6 screenshots right now and we ask the owners if we need a new one. This ticket is rather old, feel free to reopen it.
