Usage:

  1. Take a Mac OS X screenshot, such as via the ⌘⇧4 shortcut.
  2. Use ssfile from bash in any directory. Examples:
$ open `ssfile`
$ mv `ssfile` my_image.png
$ convert `ssfile` -resize 640x my_jpg.jpg  # Assuming you have ImageMagick installed.

The script replaces all spaces in the screenshot's filename for easier use from bash. This change is idempotent, meaning that repeated use of ssfile continues to refer to the most recent screenshot until you move or rename the file to something that no longer matches Screen*.png in your desktop.
