# NAME
swappy - grab and edit on the fly snapshots of a Wayland compositor
# SYNOPSIS
*swappy* [options...]
# DESCRIPTION
swappy is a command-line utility to take and edit screenshots of Wayland
desktops. Works great with grim, slurp and sway. But can easily work with
other screen copy tools that can output a final PNG image to *stdout*.
swappy will save the annotated images to the config *save_dir*, see below.
If absent, then if it will try to default to a *Desktop* folder following this
pattern: *$XDG\_DESKTOP\_DIR*. If this variable is not set, it will revert to:
*$XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME/Desktop*. If *$XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME* is not set, it will revert
to: *$HOME/Desktop*.
# OPTIONS
*-h, --help*
Show help message and quit.
*-v, --version*
Show version and quit.
*-f, --file* <file>
A PNG file to load for editing.
If set to *-*, read the file from standard input instead. This is grim
friendly.
*-o, --output-file <file>*
Print the final surface to *<file>* when exiting the application.
If set to *-*, prints the final surface to *stdout*.
Note that the *Save* button will save the image to the config *save_dir*
parameter, as described in the DESCRIPTION section.
# CONFIG FILE
The config file is located at *$XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME/swappy/config* or at
*$HOME/.config/swappy/config*. The file follows the GLib *conf* format.
```
[Section]
key=value
```
The following lines can be used as swappy's default:
```
[Default]
save_dir=$HOME/Desktop
save_filename_format=swappy-%Y%m%d-%H%M%S.png
show_panel=false
line_size=5
text_size=20
text_font=sans-serif
```
- *save_dir* is where swappshots will be saved, can contain env variables and must exist in your filesystem
- *save_filename_format* is the filename template, if it contains a date format, this will be parsed into a timestamp. Format is detailed in strftime(3). If this date format is missing, filename will have no timestamp
- *show_panel* is used to toggle the paint panel on or off upon startup
- *line_size* is the default line size (must be between 1 and 50)
- *text_size* is the default text size (must be between 10 and 50)
- *text_font* is the font used to render text, its format is pango friendly
