hello atm this only works on the main monitor and secondary monitor is ignored
1 flameshot gui

2 the main monitor gets the notification

3 outside main monitor the cross cursor become normal mouse pointer

If possible, please release this software for Ubuntu, it would be very useful for me as a developer.

Great app.
Is there a way to add "text" to my shots?

Kill compton and everything is back to normal

Actual screenshot is not affected only the UI

Operative system: Arch Linux x86_64

When running in GUI selection mode it would be nice if the initial selection could be set to the window outlines by just left clicking a window without dragging.

Hey! I am looking for a way to hide sensitive info.

Please vote on this if you need this feature!

Good Day.
I assembled the program and ran into the fact that the path /usr/share/flameshot/translations/ is constant. When compile with default prefix /usr/local. ,

QTranslator translator;
    translator.load(QLocale::system().language(),
      "Internationalization", "_", "/usr/share/flameshot/translations/");

Because of this, when compile with default prefix /usr/local the localization does not work and you have to manually create a link or copy translations into / usr / share /.
See file src/main.cpp

Shotcuts SHIFT to the righ. and SHIFT bottom does not work.

Best Regards.

Paste images as topmost floating windows like this https://www.snipaste.com

I am on Ubuntu 17.10. I cant cancel taking a screenshot after I double click on Tray icon to take a screenshot.

Please add a configuration in GUI for adding a default delay between the double click and screenshot.

Thanks for this amazing app.

I change some code and use Mingw32 to build on windows10, It runs well, but there are still some problems, such as color widgets. I upload the compiled application here.

Looks like Travis CI is not enabled on your project:
https://travis-ci.org/lupoDharkael/flameshot

Please enable it.
https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/getting-started/

Since the application currently defaults to screenshot.png it would be nice to add a configuration file or cmdline switch in order to provide a naming scheme for the files e.g. based on date and time variables.

Alternatively or additionally an option to define the output file in addition to the directory would also be handy.

For the output file it would also be nice if we could use - instead of an actual file to utilize the bash pipes to pass the image directly on to another process (e.g. imagemagick) without storing it first:

./flameshot gui | magick png:- +negate screenshot.png

(negates the image colors in theory syntax might be off a bit)

At present, when changing the thickness of the tools there is no reference to what the new thickness is until something is drawn.

Upload to Imgur error.

Since you are already using linuxdeployqt it should be quite easy to also provide an AppImage for Linux on GitHub Releases.

Providing an AppImage would have, among others, these advantages:

• Applications packaged as an AppImage can run on many distributions (including Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, CentOS, elementaryOS, Linux Mint, and others)
• One app = one file = super simple for users: just download one AppImage file, make it executable, and run
• No unpacking or installation necessary
• No root needed
• No system libraries changed
• Works out of the box, no installation of runtimes needed
• Optional desktop integration with appimaged
• Optional binary delta updates, e.g., for continuous builds (only download the binary diff) using AppImageUpdate
• Can optionally GPG2-sign your AppImages (inside the file)
• Works on Live ISOs
• Can use the same AppImages when dual-booting multiple distributions
• Can be listed in the AppImageHub central directory of available AppImages
• Can double as a self-extracting compressed archive with the --appimage-extract parameter

Here is an overview of projects that are already distributing upstream-provided, official AppImages.

If you have questions, AppImage developers are on #AppImage on irc.freenode.net.

Okay, so it might be an issue regarding both ultrawide monitors (speaking of 2.35:1) and multiple displays.
When taking a screenshot on such setups it basically creates a misplaced overlay across the screen which contains the correct content but is offset by some value.

On the left used to be another chrome window (right edge still visible) but instead the overlay which is supposed to be centered is offset to the left. Again I don't know if it is a bug related to multiple monitors or to ultrawides since I don't have another monitor hooked up currently but it might still mess things up since my xorg config includes some variables regarding it.

So I attempted to compile on Gentoo Linux and the compilation fails at make:

Any idea/hint what package/dependency could be missing?

Thanks !, the application is just great.
I have compiled it in Fedora 23 and it works perfectly.
But when I try to make a capture and upload it to imgur, it says that it is uploading but does not show any notifications when it finishes uploading, or the url it generates from the image.

Sorry for the translation, I use Google Translate.

Hi !

Flameshot looks quite promising, i'd love to have the possibility to upload right into a FTP or SFTP and directly get the url copied in my clipboard.

Like puush or the dead project Screencloud.

Do you think you could implement this feature ?

Thanks :)

I'm currently using Flameshot under Archlinux with XFCE. I installed flameshot version 4.1 from the AUR repo.

The problem is when doing
flameshot -v or flameshot --version
doesn't appear the version number. (The QT version number actually appear)

Also, it doesn't appear in the graphic window "Information"

The scrolling screenshot interaction of this Mac application Xnip is worth learning, I think flameshot can also be achieved.

the gif(compressed) animation:

Hi lupo! May I suggest adding a few more simple options to the GUI, such as specifying a delay (yes I know you can do this through terminal), or having an option to map different functions to hotkeys. Even better if you can somehow make it behave like ShareX where you can specify a workflow and map it to a hotkey.

Thanks very much for this wonderful and creative piece of software

Using Antegros with KDE, no Wayland, installed from the AUR. When I try to open configure, either by right clicking the tray icon or through CLI, the app just closes.
Also, the screenshots aren't saved anywhere, even when capture with GUI with custom save path is used, when GUI used, they aren't uploaded to Imgur and can't be copied to clipboard.
I can provide additional information if needed.

I'd like to be able to choose how dark the non-screenshotted part of the screen is prior to taking a screenshot. On my screen it happens to be barely visible, making it hard to take a screenshot.

A slider from 0% to 80% on the configuration editor would be ideal for this.

It would be very useful to add the possibility of changing the color of the figures: rectangle, circle, arrow,...

Can i use it on Ubuntu ？ my os ：Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Hello, thanks for creating this neat tool.
There is one issue that I'm experiencing and I'm not sure how to fix it.
Whenever I restart the flameshot process, the configuration resets and I have to configure it again.

Steps:

1. Start flameshot.
2. Change configuration using flameshot config or edit the ~/.config/Dharkael/flameshot.conf file.
3. Terminate the flameshot process or exit the application.
4. Start a new instance of flameshot.
5. Configuration is reset back to default values.

Version:

flameshot -v output:

Flameshot 
Compiled with QT 5.9.1

AUR version:

0.4.1

System:

• Arch Linux
• i3 window manager

Arch Linux
GNOME Shell 3.26.1 on X
TopIcons Plus v21 (installed from git)

When I start Gnome session, flameshot starts but it doesn't show the tray icon.

Is there a way to set up a keyboard shortcut for screen capture?
I mean, when I start flameshot I get screen capture options. Once it's over I still have a tray icon through which I can set up configuration but I don't see other way to trigger screeen capture than running flameshot gui command from the console again.
What am I missing?

OS: Arch Linux
WM: i3
flameshot: latest

I can't open the right click menu in chromium after a flameshot session. The only way to make work again the button is to focus another window. Chrome/Chromium seems to be the only program with this issue.

The Makefile created doesn't allow install in a custom folder.
For example to install in /usr/ instead /usr/local/.
I'm trying to create an AUR package (for Arch Linux) but the actual install system doesn't allow this because I need install in a custom folder.

thank's for this great softawre
i want to add a small tool that is flou
Thanks in advance

Sorry if this is a captain obvious issue; I'm not super great at compiling from source.

I followed the readme's directions, and then near the end:

Hey, great app!

Would you consider adding white and black colors to the color-picker-wheel-thingy?

Sometimes I want to remove text or graphics from my screenshots, and the available colors make this a bit awkward.

My huge thanks for your development, its super application that works super awesome on my multi-monitor configuration (that was the reason to migrate from screencloud).

However, I'm missing some features:

1. Authorized imgur, — sometimes you want to hide some private screenshots from the internet
2. Would be nice to have configurable hotkeys for making:

• Select area screenshot
• Selected window screenshot
• All the area screenshot (and, maybe, screenshot of monitor where is the active window now)

3. Configurable default delay: sometimes you need it for making screenshot. Simple way here is just a setting in configuration window. But if we would be able to have also duplicated hotkeys to make all the screenshots with delay — that would be very nice. E.g.: selected area screenshot with PrntScreen button and selected area screenshot with configured delay = Ctrl+PrntScreen .
4. Next thing is a bit more configurated hotkeys so with a single hotkey and no more clicks you would be able to make a screenshot; have it uploaded to imgur and have an already copied link in your buffer to share it with your friend by pasting it in chat.

Thanks in advance! English is not my native language, so I'm sorry for mistakes done in this text. Hoping everything is understandable 😺

https://software.opensuse.org/package/flameshot

Just wanted to say thanks for an outstanding program. Packing it was very easy as well:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:avindra/flameshot/flameshot.spec?expand=1

When I try to save a "flameshot" to imgur, It show the next error:

SSL hanshake failed

Having the config files/folders named after the application and not after the developers username would be a lot more meaningful I think.
As far as I can tell this includes
~/.config/Dharkael.conf
~/.config/Dharkael/flameshot.conf
/etc/xdg/Dharkael.conf
/etc/xdg/Dharkael/flameshot.conf

if you want to can add this to the readme

void linux

xbps-install flameshot

link to template

https://github.com/voidlinux/void-packages/tree/master/srcpkgs/flameshot

First of all, this is the most awesome tool ever! Excellent work!

Not necessarily an issue, but lack of experience on my part:

As you release new versions and updates, how do I update this?

Do I just re-download and install? Must I uninstall it first? Is there an update process?

How do I uninstall? Do I run "make uninstall" from the directory I made it from?

I'm running it on Fedora 27 Workstation in Gnome 3.26.

Thank you!

Would it be possible to add a feture to allow uploaders to sites other than imgur, or use shareX custom uploaders?

When I build flameshot, It show the next error:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/lrelease: not found
Project ERROR: Failed to run: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/lrelease -removeidentical translation/Internationalization_es.ts -qm /usr/src/flameshot/translation/Internationalization_es.qm

Thanks for a great app.

Could you use QColorDialog for the Color picker ?

In https://github.com/lupoDharkael/flameshot#considerations you say:

In order to speed up the first launch of Flameshot (DBus init of the app can be slow), consider starting the application automatically on boot.

But the only desktop created by installation is for capture with GUI. It would be necessary another desktop file like flameshot-init.desktop, for example, with Exec=/usr/local/bin/flameshot.

Just tested flameshot as a possible replacement for shutter.
concerning the features they are very much enough for me, apart from delay before capture as already mentioned by another user.
I love the ability to open directly with inkscape.

But being on Gnome + having a hidpi screen, the usability is greatly hindered.
The buttons are really tiny and the info regarding the screenshot size is not readable.
The GUI (at least on a GTK DE) is very rough right now.
This app could really be superb.

Itwould be nice if you would provide flatpak support via flathub. That way, all the distros out there could use your software without the needs of building from source.

Thank you :)

Hi,
flameshot looks promising! It would be nice to support upload to nextcloud/owncloud and get a sharable link to clipboard via one push of button.
Thanks!
