Print-screen App

Flameshot I use it with cinnamon.

I honestly just use a shellscript bound to a key because I think all of the screenshot software on Linux is garbage.

@brownmustardminion I think you'd be fine still usin swappy, just use it in a way that does what you need. I use maim piped to xclip as below, then I tie each of those cases to [PrScr] with different modkeys.

case "${1}" in
    area)     maim --hidecursor -s |tee $HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/$(date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S).png |xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png
    ;;
    savew)    maim --hidecursor -i $(xdotool getactivewindow) |tee $HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/$(date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S).png |xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png
    ;;
    savef)    maim --hidecursor |tee $HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/$(date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S).png |xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png
    ;;

+1. Works great.

magick import of imagemagick. Here's my function:

screnshot() {
    ## script to make screenshots with imagemagick's import command and display them
    ## usage: screenshot <path> <name>

    _id="$(date "+%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S")"
    _dir="${1:-$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"
    _shot="$_dir"/"${2:-shot_$_id}.png"

    mkdir -p "$_dir"
    magick import "$_shot"
    viewnior "$_shot"
}

And good old xfce4-screenshooter, xfce4-screenshooter -r and xfce4-screenshooter -w.

@brownmustardminion I use KDE's Spectacle, and I like it a lot!

[uebercomplicated@lemmy.ml]

I'd go with grimshot then, which I think works for hyprland as well (it's made for sway). It provides an interface over Grim, slurp, and jq, and makes life easy. Combine it with a image viewer like imv, and your set!

[utopiah@lemmy.ml]

scrot if you want to use the CLI, (KDE) Spectacle if you need a UI.

[dirk@lemmy.ml]

it doesn’t really suit my needs.

What are your needs?

[warmaster@lemmy.world]

Kde's Spectacle is awesome

grim + slurp ftw. On my system mod+ctrl+s -> select area by drawing a box -> screenshot saved as shot.png in the Downloads directory where even sandboxed apps can read it.

[merthyr1831@lemmy.ml]

it's the most mac-like (and Windows, it pulls a good medium)

[clif@lemmy.world]

Second this. Think I heard about it on lemmy, been using it ever since. Built in editing, copy to clipboard, save to file, all the stuff I need.

[rmrf@lemmy.ml]

I love flameshot, but unfortunately it's support for more than one monitor on wayland has me looking for an alternative

[akatsukilevi@lemmy.world]

First I heard of this (but then, I'm stuck on outdated GPU so no Wayland for me T~T)
