The readme suggests this is a Linux-first app and as HDR basically doesn’t work at all on Linux(?) I don’t think it’s very surprising that this app doesn’t handle it.

It does a great job for my purposes – describing which buttons to click over email or im.

This has been my experience as well, I've searched high and low for a screenshot software that supports HDR and found none. It's the sole reason I have HDR disabled. At least microsoft updated snipping tool now, but the usability is nothing close compared to Flameshot or Lightshot.

>But this app doesn't capture HDR.

When you say the Xbox game bar accounts for it, do you mean video or still images? I've had HDR disabled for some time but I remember win+shift+s on Windows 11 capturing over-exposed screenshots when playing videogames.

This has got to be the "todo list app" for people who aren't app devs; mine [0] is for MacOS + launchd + hammerspoon and I use Shottr for annotation

yep, I bound it to win+shift+s like the screenshots in windows when I made the flip to full time linux a couple years ago.

Fell in absolute love with the controls though. Way more powerful than windows screenshots.

Ambitious!

Oh, thanks for the link. I've been using flameshot for most of the past decade, but haven't been able to use it with pop-os and my monitors recently because it was derotating my monitor.

Same. I tried probably 6-7 different tools on Ubuntu before I found Flameshot. It was everything I was looking for.

I agree. ShareX for Windows is flawless in my opinion.

I have worked with Wayland + Flameshot for the past 2-3 years and it seems to work fine as far as I can tell.

The good news is a few lines of shell scripting, grim, slurp and satty can be combined to create a decent alternative.

Hit a hotkey, capture a region, get presented with a way to annotate it and easily copy it to your clipboard or write it to disk. I use it on a multi-monitor system and it works no problem with Wayland.

Here's an example from my dotfiles: https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles/blob/master/.local/bin/do...

It supports capturing a region, a specific window or the focused monitor.

I think it's beta for a reason. I just tried the appimage for their latest release and it's behaving in the same broken way that I remember.

I have a multi-monitor setup with different size & resolution screens, so that may be a factor for the problems I'm having. Really hope it'll work someday.

Maybe try Spectacle. I use the OOTB Spectacle app on Fedora KDE. It has the same features as Flameshot and is .. well, native.

But on my Mac, I use indeed Flameshot, it's not ideal (the window is "shrinking" when a screenshot is captured), but it's better than any alternative I tried.

Huh? I'm running kde plasma on wayland and flameshot runs like a dream come true. I hit the flameshot icon in the tray, it automatically selects the whole screen to save, or if I click it starts cropping wherever I move the mouse. It's like the devs read my mind for exactly what I wanted

Shutter is great in terms of features. I just recently discovered it.

But its code... Thousands (like definitely over 10k) of lines of procedural perl. I had a feature in mind I wanted to contribute and I couldn't even scratch the surface. I doubt this software can evolve any further.

Lightshot, if youre using it you should remove it and then google why.

increase the border size. more. yes. in the bloodiest red. yes. its rectangle time

Spectacle is great. I tried to switch to it from Flameshot a few months back since it has all the features that I use regularly in Flameshot but ran into an issue where it would 2-3 times longer than Flameshot to start up when starting it up through the CLI. I use keymapper to map all my keyboard shortcuts and starting Spectacle using Qdbus is very slow compares to flameshot, like 1-2 seconds of waiting after pressing the hotkey compared to Flameshot being instant.

Looks like someone found a workaround by having spectacle run as a systemd process and restart after closing though, I'll have to give it a try: https://discuss.kde.org/t/make-spectacle-launch-faster/38030...
