DASPRiD/gnome-shell-extension-area-screenshot — Issue #12: not working

State: open

Going through the readme.md I did the following in my Fedora 16 after running the yum update of today:

1. I 'cloned' the repository (not knowing what exactly that is, I clicked on the button that said: "Download this repository as a zip-file" and downloaded it in my packages directory: /home//pc/packages/gnome-shell-extension-area-screenshot and unzipped it to that directory)

2. I 'symlinked' the directory "area-screenshot@dasprids.de" into "~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/" by opening nautilus, selecting the directory 'area-screenshot@dasprids.de', right-clicking and selecting 'make link'.
This 'link' I moved to the ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ directory.

3. Clicked + F2

4. entered "r"

5. opened shell and typed as user: gnome-tweak-tool
Then I got 2 warnings:
"WARNING : Schema /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.shell.gschema.xml missing summary text:"
one saying:
" etc."
and the other saying:
" etc." and then 15 times the same error, saying:
"(gnome-tweak-tool:25038): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width: assertion `width >= 0' failed"

Let it be no surprise that I wasn't able to find the extension in the window of gnome-tweak-tool that opened.

What, if any, did I do wrong, and how to do it right?

Thanks for the tool, and if it works, can it 'screenshot' or copy all the text in a window?
