Flameshot: Suggested enhancements

Created on 3 Jan 2018  Â·  12Comments  Â·  Source: flameshot-org/flameshot

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 😺

global shortcuts/hotkeys @lupoDharkael is processing.
For third one, I add delay capture and countdown display.

  1. I plan to rework the upload tool in future versions as a simple public upload to Imgur is too simple.
  2. It will be implemented in 0.7.0 but it could be done before as I did with the support of Windows.
  3. in GNU/Linux you can use your desktop to define shortcuts and launch a command, I'd like to make a GUI to generate those commands for non technical users. For windows I want to implement custom global shortcuts inside the app.
  4. Sounds interesting. I'll revisit the idea when I have shortcuts implemented.

@lupoDharkael about upload tool to imgur (and possible other services?) — there is no error handeling now. For example, if api server of imgur said that's an internal error somewhere on their side, I have no ability to even retry to upload same picture once again or save it locally to upload in future.

  1. Option for autosave screenshots even it was copy to clipboard
  2. Add some "new contributor friendly" issues. Maybe somebody want to help you :wink:

+1 to Delay capture settings (very needed IMHO)

I would also like to see an autosave function added. Thx.

Autosave to clipboard would be nice, so that one can bind a shortcut to directly create a screenshot that could be pasted somewhere else.

+autosave

i like to have a folder on the desktop called "screenshots" where images get autosaved to

+1 delay on gui triggered from the task bar (I need to do it with spectale now)

Delay is in the new launcher gui as of 0.8.x.
