Flameshot is great, I use it every day at work and home. The integrated editing/annoation/drawing functions are superb.
I use greenshot at work, and have been looking for something for my Linux box. Iβll give this a shot. Thanks for sharing.
For Windows, I recommend ShareX. It feels more modern than Greenshot, has more features and is more customizable. And itβs open-source: https://github.com/ShareX/ShareX
Use Flameshot every day. Love it.
Two tips for users:
-
Check out this page for info on customizing the key bindings you use within the app to suit your needs: https://flameshot.org/docs/guide/key-bindings/
-
Same page has instructions for choosing which key-combo should bring up the GUI. Iβm on Ubuntu and had to do special steps to make it work with the PrintScr key but itβs so easy to use now!
Flameshot was great, but for me, no window select (on Win) and no plan to implement is a deal breaker, thoughi understandthe reasons.
Also breaks when moving between docks - has to be restarted, and pinned images go under the screen, if pinned at the bottom (they always shift down).
While I like the UI, it makes it awkward to quickly find the icon needed on small crops, since they keep shifting around.
Yah, on Windows I prefer Greenshot (greenshot.org). Itβs free, open-source and is so easy to use, I frequently forget itβs running in the background.
Itβs a shame this doesnβt work nicely with multiple displays, it always picks the monitor I donβt have the window on I want to capture.
For me it captures all the screens and letβs me pick the region, even when crossing over two screens.
Which OS are you using? And if Linux, are you running Wayland or X?
You might need some workarounds for it to work. Iβm using Sway as my window manager, where the missing piece war the βfor_windowβ bit on this page.
https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/blob/master/docs/Sway and wlroots support.md
Depending on your desktop environment/window manager, you might need some different workarounds.
For wayland, i use the combination of grim+slurp+swappy.
