It works flawlessly. Yes, currently it takes a bit of tweaking to get it working on Wayland, but once you nail it, flawless and so freaking useful. Once I started using it I find every other screen shot app lacking.

So if you have to get it working on Wayland, I don't think it works flawless. What exactly did you do?

[-] jjlinux@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I agree, but flawless does apply after the tweak/workaround is completed.

  • Anyway, if installed from flatpak:
sudo tee /usr/local/bin/flameshot-workaround > /dev/null <<'EOF'
#!/bin/bash
flameshot
EOF
sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/flameshot-workaround

After this, just make the call from:

/usr/local/bin/flameshot-workaround

instead of:

flameshot gui
  • If installed RPM, then make the call from:
script --command "flameshot gui" /dev/null

instead of:

flameshot gui

So why do that? Seems like you're just piping the output to null?

[-] jjlinux@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

Apparently (from what I was able to gather, but I'm certainly no dev) that nullifies the part of Gnome in Wayland that makes it fail and not capture.

Whatever the case, it's been working flawlessly for me since Fedora 38 on Gnome 44.
