Flameshot: Flameshot slow on copying to clipboard

Created on 21 Sep 2018  路  4Comments  路  Source: flameshot-org/flameshot

Version:
Flameshot v0.6.0
Compiled with Qt 5.11.1
Arch with i3wm

After last update, flameshot takes forever to copy image to clipboard.
Saving image works, but then when starting flameshot gui again it takes forever(~20s).
no errors when running from console or from gdb.

Are you using any notification daemon? I had this same problem and it was fixed when running one. (dunst, for example). Alternatively, you can deactivate Flameshot's desktop notifications.

Flameshot uses the org.freedesktop.Notifications Dbus API instead of Qt's built-in (which shows the notification from the trayicon).
I'm sure if you execute notify-send test you will see the process blocking those ~20s. I don't know why if you don't have a notification daemon the request isn't just ignored instead of blocking the process.

Installing dunst solved it, thanks @antoniotorresm, closing issue.

I use XFCE but had some KDE traces left.
my notifications didn't work.
remove plasma-workspace fixed my notifications and flameshot.
