Shutter is the only screenshot tool for Linux that meets my needs.
But no Wayland support.
Flameshot – Simple, powerful screenshot tool for all major operating systems

#102Cool tool but redundant on macOS. Do screenshot using Shift-CMD-4 or 5 and edit using Preview to add arrows, text etc. I usually screenshot a part of the screen directly to the clipboard, then paste it into Mail.app where I can quickly edit it and add some text, errors, drawings etc.
Forgot to mention that Ctrl-Shift-CMD-4 etc puts it directly into the clipboard. Without Ctrl, it will be saved as a file.

#103I've used Flameshot for a while and can say it is definitely the best of many tools I've tried. The direct upload to imgur is particularly nice.
Is it better than Greenshot? https://i.imgur.com/ZtR60qw.png I love nesting screenshots into screenshots by simply hitting the PRTSC button muliple times https://i.imgur.com/9NKvWko.png https://i.imgur.com/n8Mwh1Z.png EDIT: ___ And you should also install "hoverzoom" under brave broser with multiple blockers: https://i.imgur.com/OcOJhyE.jpg
No. greenshot is fantastic. But windows only

Redundant on Win10 now, too: WIN+SHIFT+S does the same.
Re: Flameshot – Simple, powerful screenshot tool for all major operating systems
#105Don't get me wrong, Flameshot is a great tool, but this feels a bit like celebrating every turn after reinventing the wheel.
it kinda is. the whole wayland ecosystem is slowling taking shape month after month. and given the radical change that wayland is, most thing have to be re-implemented using radically different tooling, libraries and approaches, which is very similar to re-inventing.
question for those out of the loop - what is Wayland? how is it related to Flameshot? it is mentioned but not explained in the post.

#106this was submitted a month ago - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26113753 i managed to build it for mac, but the dealbreaker was that text couldn't be moved. i'm sticking to Zapier's Zappy for now but even it has lacking features :( very close to writing my own...

It claims to be the successor to xorg. For like 5+ years now.

Why do people still use imgur after all the antipatterns they've pushed? When I tap the direct image links in this thread I get greeted with an extremely slow infinite scrolling page, social media features galore, and intrusive requests to install the app . I like postimages.org.
Thank you for recommending postmates.org. Just what I was looking for!

Reading grim’s README, it looks like a terminal tool, while flameshot is a GUI tool. You mean flameshot should just wrap grim on wayland?
grim can write the image to stdout. GUI like [1] can read images from stdin. You can make a script that pipes one to the other and bind that in your compositor. [1]: https://github.com/jtheoof/swappy
You can also use "display" from imagemagick with a pipe. Lots of people probably have that installed already.
