screeny is a shell script is intended for KDE users who have access to a webserver via ssh (with pubkey authentication) only.

What it does:
- take a screenshot (png format)
- upload it to the server (via scp)
- convert it from png to jpg on the server (and keep the png, so that a lossless and a lossy version are available)
- make TinyURLs for both versions
- put those URLs into the clipboard

You can bind this script to a keyboard shortcut (for example CTRL-Print), and it will be a very convenient solution to supply screenshots to others.

Requirements:
On your machine: ssh, scrot, curl, KDE (klipper, kdialog)
On the server: sshd, httpd, ImageMagick
Working ssh public key authentication for the user that will do the upload (see http://sial.org/howto/openssh/publickey-auth/)

What's New in This Release:
TinyURL generation optional, filename string default changed to timestamp and made configurable
