0x2d,

doesn’t it require xorg? or can i use it on wayland now?

Bazz,

Works with Wayland but bugs if you have scaling on something different than 100%

exu,

It also breaks with more than one monitor on Wayland, might also be related to the scaling thing though.

Bazz,

Hmm it works here with different multi monitor setups. But scaling breaks it by changing the scaling for the screenshot so that you don’t see the whole screen anymore.

jjlinux,

Hands down the best screen shot app in Linux, in my opinion.

clmbmb,

And Windows! It’s been added to my company on all machines out of the blue and set as default for taking screenshots (win10/11).

Technoguyfication,

If you’re running Windows I would suggest looking into ShareX. It’s a million times better imo. Support for custom uploaders, video and gif recording, etc. It’s also free and open source.

100% ShareX is like the grandad of Flameshot

clmbmb,

I don’t need video and gif recording. And most definitely not uploading. Thanks for the suggestion, though. I’ll have a look at it.

Flameshot is a really nice screenshot tool, but the big drawback is, that it only upload to Imgur, one of the worst Data hogs. The best and most complete is ShareX, there you can set the destinations to your like, but it has also a big drawback, it’s Windows only (depends on NETframework, same as Greenshot)

You can use Flameshot, but recomment to store the screenshots only locally and upload to share/host later to, eg vgy.me, or some self hosted one, like FileCoffee (valid for all type of files, image, video, multimedia, documents, presentations, etc.)

Zeoic,

Flameshot can run a script once it saves a screenshot, so it can effectively be uploaded anywhere. Like zipline for example.

I still prefer ksnip over flameshot though.

Zerush,

Yes, but anyway, everybody wish ShareX in Linux, but nobody dares to fork ShareX for Linux. Until now there sadly isn’t any equivalent tool for Linux

Zeoic,

Indeed. I went on a many hour hunt for alternatives, even trying some wine methods of getting sharex itself working. Ksnip was the next best option, and gifine for gifs/mp4

Zerush,
@Zerush@lemmy.ml avatar

Yes, in Linux you need 3-4 different apps to do the same as you can do with ShareX

IzyaKatzmann,

wish it was on linux :(

I switch between this and Shutter on a regular basis depending on what I feel like using that day.

Got this installed on all my work machines - if you’re wanting to stick a screenshot on Jira or Slack with a couple of arrows, wavy lines, or a bit blurred out then it’s dead quick and has just the functionality that you need. Yes, it’s simple and lacks a lot of ‘power tools’. Sometimes that’s just what you need, tho.

governorkeagan,

I just wish it had a window capture mode.

moreeni,

Spectacle has more features and comes pre-installed on KDE Plasma. Better alternative, imho

Renegade,

How’s it compare to greenshot?

bier,

Basically same feature set with better ui

I found that Flameshot does not automatically select an annotation tool after snipping - which turned me off it.

Unless there is a setting I missed that enabled that. I went with Ksnip as a result.

ShareX is my favourite, but that UI doesn’t scale.

It’d say just as good. I prefer the text based menu of greenshot. The options in this are all icons, so I end up hovering over them all the time to confirm what they are. Works just as well, otherwise.

InstallGentoo, (edited )

Ksnip is basically a drop-in replacement for greenshot for Linux.

FiskFisk33,

Love it on X, needs some work on wayland yet.

furzegulo,

yup, i use kde’s screenshot tool on plasma but still miss flameshot

aStonedSanta,

I have mine almost mirroring windows snipping tool. So I’m pretty content. What makes flame shot better?
