Re: Flameshot – Open-source screenshot software
#82I use the following script (activated by a system-level shortcut key) to take a screenshot, upload to S3 bucket (using the minio client[0]) and place the URL in the X selection buffer, ready to be pasted: #!/bin/bash set -e dbus-update-activation-environment DISPLAY XAUTHORITY FNAME=`cat /dev/urandom | tr -cd 'a-f0-9' | head -c 32`.png flameshot gui --raw > /tmp/$FNAME ~/go/bin/mc -q cp --attr x-amz-acl=public-read /…
I forget, do you pay for bandwidth serving from S3 in this case? I have been looking for a good screenshot hosting solution to replace Cloudup, which was perfect and still usually works but I figure it might stop any day now. My only worry would be the unlikely case of a surprise high bill from a screenshot gone viral or something along those lines.
My workflow uses SFTP to upload to a cheap webhost, with cloudflare in front acting as a cdn. Easy peasy

#83This is my screencap tool - the 'pin' feature is particularly useful when debugging things. One minor annoyance is it struggles with DPI scaling across screens (i.e. multi-screen with different scaling factors on different screens). There's a long thread on github with workarounds.
What does pinning do? The docs just say "--pin: Pin the screenshot"

#84For screenshots I use 'scrot' and then open the image in gimp if I need to crop or edit further. Seems very simple to me and avoids browsers, cloud storage, and other potential pitfalls. https://github.com/resurrecting-open-source-projects/scrot
I also use scrot, because it's simple. Almost always use 'scrot -s', so I get to do immediate cropping, and it's trivial to bind to a shortcut in i3wm.

#85FYI, [Win + Shift + S] is quickest way in windows to copy selected area to clipboard, if that's all you need.
I use it nearly everyday for something e.g. posting snap of a code snippet or anything in slack to putting these clips in docs.
EDIT: Just tried Flameshot and loved that I can draw while taking a snap, instead of opening a new window and do the drawing in that. Looks like this is going to replace Win+Shift+S for me.

Thats the reason I stopped using win+shift+S, to draw on snippet right away. Now if only I could do 2 snippets and merge them into one pastable immage in flameshot..

#87The UI and features look well-polished. I use ShareX, another open-source tool but only available for Windows. However, a crucial feature for me is quick screen recording (GIF or MP4), which Flameshot seems to lack. Does it have this feature? It's not mentioned on the landing page.
On Linux for screen recording I use Peek and I really like the approach
You just resize Peek‘s transparent window over the part of the screen that you want and hit record

#88I just use ImageMagick's "import", and if I need to annotate the screenshot I have a shortcut to screenshot and open it in gimp.
Re: Flameshot – Open-source screenshot software
#89Spectacle from KDE and Flameshot both really good .
The annotate/draw in-place in flameshot just made me convert from spectacle.
Also on i3 spectacle is sometimes buggy, it misfires or loses the capture.

#90I've been using ShareX (https://getsharex.com/) for some years, which is also open-source, and very featureful while not feeling too bloated, though Windows only.
I'll have to have a look at this next time I'm on a Linux desktop, as I found the options lacking compared to ShareX last time I looked.
