Most of the things you describe is already handled by swappy. You can:
- Output grim to sdout
- Pipe in swappy as stdin
- Do your edit
- Ctrl+C
- Escape
You now have a valid swappy buffer in your clipboard. No need to remove anything.
Overall, swappy shouldn't delete file from users filesystem. What it should do is cleanup after itself when using -f -
option and this was handled in #80 .
For the notification, they were removed in my patch yesterday. See #58 details for the reason behind this.
Overall the idea is to keep the tool as simple as possible and I think your proposal goes against it.

Hi!
I [long ago] wrote shotman
for taking screenshots, but, honestly, swappy
is far more feature-rich and does does 99% of all the extra things I'd want, and I'd love to drop my own tool and move over to swappy.
However, the lack of a delete button is a hard dealbreaker for me.
I really dislike the idea of "only keep in memory by default". In case of failure, or accidentally closing swappy
, the data is lost forever. The idea of "data is discarded by default, only save explicitly" seems too fragile for me.
The opposite approach: save by default, and require explicit deletion would seem safer and reliable in almost any scenario. I'd love to do something like:
swappy -f $(grimshot save output)
This approach also separates roles clearly: grimshot
takes a screenshot, swappy
shows a UI to operate on it.
However, I'd need a hotkey to delete the file if I chose to, especially since I'm already looking at a UI. This model is honestly, just inspired by what iOS does (my intention with shotman
was to follow that approach, but I've never had the time for it).
Can this feature be revisited?
