Package: maim Version: 5.6.3-1 Severity: minor Tags: patch Hello:
The man page could be improved to have better apropos(1) results. IOW, to make the program appear with search terms that come to mind first, as "make image" is true but too abstract. See attached patch. Background: I was looking for avaliable screenshot tools, I knew I had more installed and had no idea why at least one was missing. I ended finding it again because I remembered about slop (which IMHO could also get the man page name section improved), "apropos select" worked. The use will be a bash oneliner like "zbarimg -q <( maim -f png ) | xsel" to decode barcodes that are on screen and load them into the selection. Cheers, GSR
