nice to have some alternatives to grim[1] on Sway. Guess most people won't care, however I would not want my screenshot tool to be able to access the network.

#22I'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.

#23Don't get me wrong, Flameshot is a great tool, but this feels a bit like celebrating every turn after reinventing the wheel.

#24I don't wanna poop on their parade, but haven't Wayland screenshotters been around for a while? https://github.com/emersion/grim
That one has at least been around for long enough, and has worked perfectly under Sway for long enough, that I had to look up its name because I had it bound to a hotkey and had forgotten what it was called.

#25I am not able to use it on sway with default swaybar. The notification simply says "Unable to capture screen" when I click on the tray icon. From CLI also I tried a few commands but nothing happens. No errors as well. Can you please help me?
seems like xdg-desktop-portal-wlr depends on having grim installed. At least it started working for me when I installed grim
edit: maybe not, is still only works sometimes

#26Hmm, funny I should see this here after TeMPOraL mentioned it to me a few days ago. It looks much better than Shutter, which I use now. I'll try to write an IMGZ plugin for it, one-shot image upload and copying the URL to the clipboard would be fantastic.

#27I wish this tool existed on MacOS, being able to annotate screenshots in such a fluid manner was a great feature on Linux.

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?
Re: Flameshot – Simple, powerful screenshot tool for all major operating systems
#29Anyone knows how to bind the printscreen key to automated flameshot screenshoting ? (using awesome/sway/thingslikethat). I'd like to emulate spectacle (kde screenshot tool) that allows a 2 seconds delay between rectangular area or application to be screenshoted.
For AwesomeWM, I have this in my rc.lua in the globalkeys table:
awful.key({ }, "Print", function () awful.spawn("flameshot gui") end,
{description = "Make a screenshot (relies on flameshot)", group = "clipboard"})Re: Flameshot – Simple, powerful screenshot tool for all major operating systems

- It supports macOS
- macOS has even better tools built in
- If that's not enough, try CleanShot
