Change default resolution of saved screenshots

[datiswous]

Is there a way to change the default resolution of saved screenshots?

Standard they're saved in the same resolution as the set screen resolution. But I upload them at a lower resolution to save space, so then I have to resize them first.

In theory, you can pass resolution to screenshot command: screenshot 1000 1000.

But in practice it is broken now.

You can quickly and easily (for free) batch resize images using IfranView. (https://www.fosshub.com/IrfanView.html)

I personally use photoshop batch resize as I paid for the app, but ifranview is excellent also.

I understand it's easy to resize with ImageMagick

Images can be resized with any image editor which you have at hand, or use an extern screenshot tool (I use ShareX, maybe the best, but only for Windows)

Why is it broken?

Thanks, but I can already do that with Pix (Linux). I know how to do that, but I want to save screenshots directly at a specific resolution.

I guess maybe I could do:

r_customWidth 1280
r_customHeight 720
screenshot
r_customWidth 1920
r_customHeight 1080

But I don't know if I could put that in a command.

I think it won't work until game restart, and won't work at all in fullscreen/borderless mode.

Yes, it's either we need to fix the old tiled rendered, or we need to allow rendering screenshot frame with different resolution.

Well it works via command vid_restart , but it's very slow..

I guess the best workaround is to make some script that converts all image files in the screenshots folder to the specified resolution. Like:

#! /usr/bin/bash
mogrify -resize 1280x720 ./*.jpg

Well since you're a Linux user and already know about scripts, I invite you to learn about the inotifywait command which can monitor the changes made to a directory or file. You could have your mogrify script run whenever the screenshots dir changes (i.e. a screenshot is saved).
