Flameshot: [Feature Request] Auto-Incrementing Numbered Bullets

[H8to]

Hey there,
great tool!

I miss a tool for auto-incrementing number bullets. This would allow easy highlighting of screenshot details from e.g. a documentation text.

Is this a feature you may consider to implement?

[ZetaoYang]

@H8to I like this idea.

[lupoDharkael]

sounds good to me.

It's in shutter and it's a great thing --- it's a pity that shutter sometimes crashes my X-server. So yes, it would be nice to have.

[xstable]

@Rmano and it's even a pity that shutter is now discontinued.
But flameshot can become as good as shutter if they add those features:

• ~writing text into the Image~
• auto-incrementing bullets
• Enhance Export Menu to choose between some pages (imgur, imageshak, own ftp, g-drive, dropbox)

[Rmano]

@xstable the first one (writing text) has been already added. It's not movable (once written, I mean) but it works quite ok.
Also relevant is https://github.com/lupoDharkael/flameshot/issues/272

I don't know how to write text. I've tested with version 0.6.0

[Rmano]

1. call flameshot config, enable the text tool:
   

2. Use the text tool; mouse wheel to select size, right click for color.

[DavidPerezIngeniero]

Thanks!

[DavidPerezIngeniero]

Version 0.6.0 doesn't have it yet.

[Rmano]

Have you stopped the old flameshot after installing the new one?
killall flameshot
...and then restart it. Flameshot keeps running in background...

[DavidPerezIngeniero]

That's it!
Here is the solution:

pkill flameshot
flameshot&
flameshot config

[wokezombie]

That's it!
Here is the solution:

pkill flameshot
flameshot&
flameshot config

Thank you so much for this! I've been looking for something like greenshot on windows, for linux, just discovered flameshot, and couldn't figure out the text feature! Then couldn't figure out how to enable it, thanks a lot, this helped me!! Now onto exploring this repo to see if there's a way to adjust the font! :)

Update: I found out from another thread that scrolling in and out with the mouse scroll will allow me to change the size of the text. Woah. This tool is better than greenshot! Much more intuitive, I'm gonna have a lot of fun w/ this! After I play w/ it for a few days, will make a donation to devs, thanks a lot, this is great!

[lupoDharkael]

I've started working on this feature.

[whnr]

I've started working on this feature.

Love it! This has been one of the most useful features when explaining multiple things in a single shot

[sparcbr]

I've started working on this feature.
@lupoDharkael Hey, have you made any progress? I can help.

[Frankstar]

Any Update on this?
its the only thing i miss from Windows / Greenshot

[mattiz]

This is the only feature I've been missing on Flameshot. It's a really good alternative for Shutter!

[sebastienPoussard]

I concur, auto increment bullet is a great feature I miss on Flameshot

[xstable]

I'm not sure if this Project is still alive. A pitty, that since a long time there is no progress on it.
Would be great if the maintainer would add some developers (someone who still send pull-requests) to the project.
I still use flameshot and like it, but I've also started to test & use [ksnip](https://github.com/ksnip/ksnip) as alternate Snapshot-Tool.

I would prefer to use flameshot, but if this project isn't under maintenance anymore, I think ksnip will overtake flameshot soon.

[borgmanJeremy]

Check out #769 and provide feedback. I added this feature to my local fork a while back.

[xstable]

Can you send an PR to this repo. I would love to see it in the main release

How can I install your fork? Any suggestions? I use Manjaro Linux

[borgmanJeremy]

Yeah there is a PR #770 .

You can just clone the repo and build in qt creator.

[borgmanJeremy]

Merged into master and will be in next release.
