Using Qt 4.8.7
Ksnip 1.2.0 builds correctly without any issues but it cannot run.
invoking it from the command line just produces the message: Segmentation fault. No other ouptut is given.

Ksnip 1.1.0 builds and run correctly on my system.

Thanks for this wonderful tool!

QCommandLineParser is available after Qt5.2, we are using 5.4 at the moment so we can implement it now, wich was not possible before.

Currently we only can selected one painter item for moving, it would be good to select a group of items and move them all at once.

New paint item which, when added shows a circle or square with a number, the number should increase with every new item added, providing a way to number stuff on the screenshot.

Example: http://storage1.static.itmages.ru/i/17/0504/h_1493907786_1537322_0fa231352a.png

Currently rect, ellipse and text tool use color and width of pen, we need here an additional option where the width, fill, and color for those tools can be changed.

Currently some pieces of the the imgur uploader function are in the mainwindow widget, that should be cleaned up and all moved to the ImgurUploader class.

Adding text boxes to crop window for x and y position of the crop frame and width and height text box so that instead of always drag and dropping the crop window you could just type in numbers that you required. With this goes a Crop and Cancel button in addition to hitting return and escape.

Currently, there are no Qt-based screenshot tools that have the ability to draw arrows or rectangles over captured areas. More than that, even Shutter, perhaps the most feature-rich screenshot tool, has such features ugly hidden in its standalone editor.
In contrast, KSnip is great! But it would be totally awesome if you could add more basic drawing tools: lines, rectangles, circles, arrows and so on.

Currently we can only set the color in the settings window, it would be nice to have two color pickers one for outline color and one for fill color, depending on which tool is selected eventually only one of the options will be available and the other not, for example when selecting pen, there will be no fill.
Eventually something like this:

Just like the image editors in Shutter and Screencloud, KSnip would benefit from things like:

• auto-numbered circles;
• auto-blur selected areas to hide away sensitive data;
• plain arrows;
• bending arrows with configuration options;
• full-featured eraser.

Hope it's not too much :)
Have a nice day!

After capturing an image and then again selecting new capture (with delay), after the ksnip window has disappeared and while waiting for the delay to finish, the cursor is incorrectly shown as paint cursor, probably because the window in background is just invisible but still detecting the cursor hovering over the location where ksnip was.

Though the current Qt4-based app builds okay, maybe it's time for the transition to the new Qt5?

Add option to paint area to copy and past paint items, eventually also cut. Those options should be available from context menu and eventually from edit menu (main menu).

I selected an area that was the exact width of an opened window, but the actual screenshot I got as the output was of a similar sized rectangle shifted a little to the right. See screenshot below, the left side of window is cut off, and on the right of the screenshot I got a part of the desktop that I didn't select.

Could it be related to your fix of the #34 problem?

Using: MX17Beta2 (Debian Stretch) on XFCE, no compositing. I am testing your latest alpha as announced on the MX Linux forum: https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=427379#p427379

Paths are currently drawn as as several connected lines, when the users draws fast the lines look edgy. We need eventually an option to make the line smooth this this feature should be option as it can be frustrating when trying to draw a precise line. Eventually turning on and off under the settings.

Currently, we only capture screen without mouse, it should be made possible to enable and disable mouse capture.

When cropping and confirming crop with Enter or Return, the crop is performed correctly but the crop panel is not closed.

Items should have drops down shadow and it should be possible to turn it on and off in settings

Implement a feature which makes possible to upload a capture directly to file sharing sites like imgur or tinypic and other.

Option that could be enabled and disabled via settings which would allow to automatically start the default or last used capture mode right after starting, without needing to trigger it via shortcut or click on action bar.

First time cropping moves painter items correctly, all subsequent crops don't move them, probably due to fact that the offset is not taken into consideration.

Objects that have been drawn on the capture should be movable

I've noticed that when ksnip is installed on Ubuntu, some of the icons are not show, which is caused by using KDE Theme icons. I will create a new set of custom icons so we can use our own custom icons.

Show x and y position of cursor when cursor is not down, when cursor down, show size of selected rect

Lines that go from the cursor vertically and horizontally in direction monitor border as some kind of aid for precise capturing.

Custom cursor class should be refactored and the cross cursor design should be changed

I've noticed that when running ksnip from command line and trying to capture the screen or monitor from where the terminal window is run, incorrectly the first screen is returned instead of the screen where the terminal window is currently located.

I used GCC 4.8, 5 and 6 but it doesn't affect the issue.

Currently, we don't feature shortcuts for paint tools, this could make the use easier and quicker.

Using Slackware-current 64-bit, Plasma 5.9.x

ksnip fails to build with an error. This is the compilation output in the relevant part:

Add a function under file to simply print the screenshot without saving it to file previously.

Using Slackware-current, Ksnip 1.3.1., Plasma 5.

When trying to use Ksnip and pressing the 'New" button, the screen goes full dark instead of darkened but transparent. Dragging the mouse button produces the screenshot area in red lines but there's nothing to be seeen.

However, the screen grabbing operation is successful. That is, I can get the contents of the screen grabbing area, even though I cannot see what is being grabbed at the moment when the operation is being performed. Thanks for any help on this!

Current instant save function always overwrites existing images, though I would expect to have it renamed with sequential numbers. This is not handled by the OS, needs to be done in code.

Currently the custom filename which is set under settings -> application, is only used for screenshots taken via CLI, but the path and extensions are used from those settings. It would be useful to provide an option to chose which one to use, maybe some users would like to use the custom name for all screenshots.

After adding imgur uploader we require more space for additional settings option, therefor we need to implement this before proceeding with #14

User noted that with software rendering the capture area is not transparent, so the user can't see what he's capturing. The same seems to be working in KDE Spectacle. See issue #34

Add paint item in form of arrow. Color and size of item should be customizable.

Currently, all painting items are shown in order as they are draw, the latest item being drawn over the older items. We need here an option to change this order.

This could be implemented by providing a context menu two actions to achieve this task.

Currently we can't capture rect region from command line, this was due to implementation limitation and should be changed for next release.

The left hand side item picket is not correctly selected when opening the settings window, at first opening no item is selected but the application window is shown.

Eventually there should be an option to change features of already drawn items, like color, size and fill. This could be achieved by providing a context menu that let's the user change those things.
Additionally to changing existing features, the context menu could also host option to bring the item to front or send it to back (see issue #31 ) and also provide an option to delete an item from there.
