I have an external monitor (1280x1024) attached to my laptop (1440x900). With xfce4-settings-editor, I set the position (X, Y) of each display as the following: |¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| | | Unused | 2 | |_____________| |¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| | | | 1 | Unused | | |___________| The monitor 1 (external) is set to (0, 900) and the monitor 2 (laptop) is set to (1280, 0). When I choose the region "Entire screen", xfce4-screenshooter takes a screenshot of all regions (both minotors and both unused spaces). I would expect to have a screenshot only of the current active monitor. More information: - video card: nVidia GeForce 8600M GT - driver: nouveau - OS: Xubuntu 11.10

It's now late 2017, and we still can't take a screenshot of the active monitor. Is there any way to vote this up?
@Peter S, absolutely, with a patch :-) Jokes apart, this feature shouldn't be too hard to implement, but I'll be very busy with Thunar until we release 4.14.
I'd vote for this too. I attach how xfce4-screenshooter takes the screenshot of my configuration, which only has one unused space (can you guess from the screenshot where it is? I'd expect to have this area either transparent (in, say, png), or black, for jpegs. (Generally, a checkbox would be very nice to have.) Now the smaller screen is stretched to fit the width of the bigger one.
Created attachment 8570 Two monitrors, 1920x1080/60dpi and 1366x768/112dpi. The (0,0) is at the bottom left of the bigger one, and on the top left of the smaller one.
(In reply to lockywolf from comment #4) > I'd expect to have this area either transparent (in, say, png), or black, > for jpegs. (Generally, a checkbox would be very nice to have.) Which screenshooter version are you using? I used to see this corruption in 1.8.x, with recent versions the extra space is plain black. It could also be related to video drivers, please tell me which one you use.
