Make screenshots taken on Steam (probably the steam deck) automatically send to your device of choice (or anything really)

deck-screenshot-sync

auto-upload screenshots made from the deck onto your pc or phone or idk!!

As seen on reddit!!

WIP

the script is as WIP as this readme

Screenshot Sync Methods

Configuration is stored within ~/.config/autoscreenshot.config:

key	possible values	description
transfer-mode	kde,local	Set the transfer mode type/service for autoscreenshot
kde-connect-device-name		Set the device name when using KDE connect.
local-target		Set the destination folder when using local mode.

KDE Connect

Installing KDE connect

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists kdeapps --from https://distribute.kde.org/kdeapps.flatpakrepo
sudo flatpak install org.kde.kdeconnect
``

Before EVERYTHING make sure you have kdeconnect all configured and your deck is paired 
with the device you want to send things to (also probably configure the folder you want 
stuff to go to too), I might write a guide for that eventually but yea...


### KDE Connect Configuration via GUI

Next, you'll have to edit your `~/.config/autoscreenshot.config` configuration file to have the 
name of your linked device, to do that:

- open your favorite terminal
- type `kdeconnect-cli -l`
- you will probably recognize the device you want to use, then copy its name
- open `transfer_handler.py` in your favorite (text) editor
- replace the 'snusk' in `device_name = 'snusk'` with the name of your linked device
- save and ur done!! move on to installation

### KDE Connect Configruation via CLI

Reference https://helpmanual.io/help/kdeconnect-cli/ to setup KDE connect without a desktop/desktop mode. This 
CLI version doesn't seem to be available in the KDEConnect flatpak. The Pacman package `kdeconnect` will work, 
but such packages installed by the user may be overwritten on system updates.

$ kdeconnect-cli -l

• Pixel 7: <LONG_ID> (paired and reachable) 1 device found

Edit your configuration:

{ "transfer-mode": "kde-connect", "local-target": "", "kde-connect-device-name": "Pixel 7" }

## Installation

Requires Python3, which should already be the default on the Steam Deck.

### PyPi installation (coming soon?)

### Installation from GitHub

Note: Add '-v' to `pip3` below to see setup installation messages + debug information.

git clone https://github.com/Xinerki/deck-screenshot-sync.git autoscreenshot cd autoscreenshot pip3 install .

If you want to test the install with pipenv, you can use:
