Replace GNOME Screenshot Tool with Flameshot

[LinuxGuy-cyber]

It's too basic, and it's frustrating to remove the shortcuts for the GNOME tool manually & assigning them to Flameshot.
And
People who know download it anyway.

Flameshot can't capture the content of a web page. Shutter is better, it can capture a wide screen, a screen zone, a window and the content of a web page.

Just use GIMP. I don't like having a more limited drawing tool only for screenshots.

I mean it is possible, but needs a bit more work for annotations. Also, with Flameshot (don't know about Shutter), you could instantly annotate within the screenshot easily. If I were to do that with GIMP, you need to save it, then go to File > Open in GIMP, browser for the file, create a circle, create an arrow, arrange them, add the text nos... It's not for me. I work with a lot of screenshots everyday, particularly because I'm writing an e-book on computer science for middle school. I can't live w/o Flameshot.

You can paste the screenshot into GIMP, from the file menu

Actually, that is a great idea (both @InfoLibre and yours as well), but the last I remember was that Shutter have a slow development (I could be wrong) and Flameshot is developed in QT, you can install it manually knowing that some QT libraries will be pulled and the mixture of themes and libraries is complicated, but other than that, you can do it (I do it myself actually, since I prefer to use tools that can be used in both Windows and Linux due to personal and workplace circumstances)

It would be great if somehow, an Xapp tool can be developed just as well (though I have seen a tool that is still in kind-of alpha but several functions works)

Other software:

• ksnip : https://github.com/ksnip/ksnip. No web page capture.
• Spectacle : https://github.com/KDE/spectacle/. No web page capture.

KDE Apps running on GTK-based desktops won't look that good, right?...

ksnip seems to work fine for capture webcontent. This is a screenshot with ksnip. v1.10.1 on LM 22.1

[InfoLibre]

This is the capture of a piece of screen. Did you try to capture an entire web page, even when it it is partially displayed by the browser (scrolling)?

[carsten88]

No. And I'm not going to. I just uninstalled it. And adopted Shutter. See my other post in the thread.

ShareX is so f**king amazing. Sad it isn't available on Linux :(
