Quiet screenshot

[mnfro]

Hi, how can I take quiet screenshots? With screencapture it is possible by appending -x, so
I've tried to run screenshot -x APP_NAME but Error: no such option: -x is prompted

Hi @mnfro, your issue raises a good point, namely that screenshot shadows some command-line flags screencapture uses, and doesn't pass unshadowed command-line flags to screencapture, either. Ideally, screenshot -x APP_NAME would pass the -x flag to screencapture, allowing you to take quiet screenshots.

As it stands right now, the option doesn't exist. However, passing unshadowed flags to screencapture should be easy. I'll add this issue to the roadmap and tag you in it.

Thanks for taking the time to open an issue.

I would love to do rectangle-based capture, so I'm seconding the command-line flag ability.
