Flameshot: Flameshot freezes when try to save the screenshot to file

Ok I've found the problem. Due to a change in the mechanism of Flameshot used to be on top of the screen, the file dialog can't be shown. It's easy to solve, I'll have it done for tomorrow.

I have the same issue on Manjaro KDE with both Flameshot v0.5.0-3 and the Git version. For some strange reason it works in my virtual machine with the same distro and DE.

@chrunchyjesus that's weird.
Could you tell the the exact process to reproduce?

[chrunchyjesus]

Install with pacaur -S flameshot and start the GUI for taking a screenshot with flameshot gui.

If there are any information you need to know please tell me.

My issue got solved at #161 . Although I still do not know why flameshot gui crashes when trying to save a screenshot without having flameshot running first but does not in my virtual machine, I do not care about it anymore.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I fixed the problem by installing and running dunst. Indeed, if there's nothing to catch the notification, Flameshot was just hanging.

Thank you ! Running dunst also fixed the problem for me. (Kernel: 5.4.15-arch1-1 )

Just want to say that this also fixed my issue. Thanks!

Hi, the issue is closed but problem still persists. I'm running flameshot v0.6.0 on Manjaro with i3 desktop environment. After taking screenshot, Flameshot freezes for some time, then silently crashes. Kinda frustrating, you cannot take more screenshots during freeze. Installing dunst helped. I propose checking if notification deamon is present before startup.

I'm using Flameshot by assigning PrtScn button to calling flameshot gui command.

I still have the same issue on manjaro with KDE. Using dunst fixes it, but i prefer the default KDE notifications.

Yes. Installing dunst fixes this issue. But it should not be required right?

I agree with @piotrek-k , a check for presence of notification daemon is good idea.
