Use NSTask to launch /bin/screencapture with an argument of cx (clipboard and no sound).

Then use NSImage to get the image from the pasteboard.


It's rude to obliterate the user's clipboard. Sometimes users dangerously rely on the clipboard to preserve data for short periods of time. If an obliterated my clipboard without my selecting "cut" or "copy" then I'd probably never run that application again.

That's another reason, why I wouldn't like to use the Clipboard. Writing a file and reading it in, will most likely not be fast enough...

Do we really have no simple API for screenshots?
