gui.py cannot capture screen in the second monitor about latex-ocr

Hi, thanks for opening the issue.
You are right, PIL does not support multiple monitors in linux. Did pyscreenshot end up working? Are you able to grab all monitors with the library?

If not, can you please follow these steps:

1. Install mss: pip install ms
2. run the following script

import mss
with mss.mss() as sct:
    sct.shot(mon=-1, output='fullscreen.png')

3. It should generate a file fullscreen.png in your current working directory. Can you tell me if all your screens are visible in the picture?

If so I might be able to rewrite the screen grabbing code.

Thanks for your reply. Both pyscreenshot and mss can get grab all monitors.
I guess the problem is related to the QT application instead of the screen grabbing part. It seems that the QT application only control the main screen output. Besides, issue #40 may be related to the same problem.

Ok thank you, I think I understand now what you mean.
It won't be easy for me to debug because my Linux doesn't like additional monitors.
I will see when I'll get around to fixing it.
Of course I'd be happy for some help if you are interested :)

should be fixed now with gnome-screenshot and flag --gnome thanks to #111
