Dear @OttoAllmendinger,

Would you consider an option in the settings to always automatically copy the image to clipboard?

Sometimes a small time is needed to have what we want to capture, like a popup menu or a drop-down list.

Hello,

I am running GNOME Shell 3.28.2 on Debian testing and, since a few days ago, the extension makes gnome-shell to crash as soon as i try to take any screenshot.

Hi!

I'm on Gnome Shell 3.26.1 & Gnome Screenshot 3.26.0. extensions.gnome.org tells me the Screenshot Tool is up to date, so it should be the v21.

When I selecting a zone on my main screen, everything works fine. But on my second screen (connected by USB-C, 1440p vs 1080p for my main screen, maybe it's important), the blue overlay is not removed from the screenshot.

Main screen:

Second screen:

I like to be able to manage my screenshots and delete need be.

See title and pull request #22 . Hope it helps :-)

Google translate from russian e.o.g comment:

In the Russian version, it tries to save a snapshot to the "Images" folder ... but writes "rubbish with squares" on the way. Vanguuy mistake in with encoding. I ask to correct

There is allot of free image storage engines with easy API - for example: imgur.com
Please make ability to upload an image and copy to clipboard automaticly

Error: Expected type utf8 for Argument 'key' but got type 'undefined'

If you have multiple monitors / screens, you might want to just capture one screen only, instead all screens. Should be a fourth option.

From OttoAllmendinger/gnome-shell-imgur#38

Sometimes you want to delete it after uploading.

You can get the "control view" of the image by removing the .png suffix but apparently that doesn't allow deletion. I guess we need the "deletehash" here: http://api.imgur.com/models/image

#48 (comment)

I take screenshots, and want to share them with co-workers on my own http/nginx deployment.

But the screenshots are all saved with 0600 permissions, which means unless I change my http user to be my current user, or I manually (or automatically) run chmod on all those files, there's no way for my nginx application to read the screenshots I save.

I can't find in the code where it does this.

$ lsb_release -da
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 9.4 (stretch)
Release: 9.4
Codename: stretch

I have set Gnome Shell Screenshot to auto-save and auto-copy to clipboard.

Hence I don't need this notification shown below.

What do you think of an optional setting to disable notifications? :-)

Hi there,
could you please make the default naming scheme follow/like the gnome-screenshot application?
It's quite bad (and unsortable) the current way.

Naming of gnome-screenshot:
{ T R A N SLATION }»Year-Month-Day Hour-Min-Sec«.png
Bildschirmfoto von »2016-12-27 03-23-56«.png

If #9 gets implemented, please allow this as a template, or make it default.

Hi all,

Enabled auto-save to the folder Pictures, yet wish to manually save to a custom folder occasionally.

This doesn't seem to work [1].

Any solutions?

Thank you!

Hi *,

As you can see from the screenshot, the default filename parameters seem to be undefined.
What can I do?

Thank you in advance for an advice.
Best regards
Axel

This allows many different use cases: uploading, customized renaming etc

Arguments to shell command:

• filename
• position
• size

Hi,

When you capture an area, the image is captured using the extension includes the blue blur used to "mark" the selected area.

See examples:
https://imgur.com/a/4sKsQ

Image captured using the extension:

Image captured using Shift+Prnt Scr keys.

Overlay is captured with screenshots (all of them):

• GNOME Shell 3.26.2
• Ubuntu 17.10
  

Creating window screenshots doesn't work properly.

Example: capturing region with "area" and "window" mode. Window mode does not include whole region and changes colors, apparently flipping blue and red.

I just think about good idea, to add setting dialog with User & Pass for my imgur, and all images will be upload to my account.

Would be nice to have the option "copy URL to clipboard" from your outdated imgur extension back in this one.

Love the imgur beta addon i use that now i just found it
are you planning to add user auth to this so the screen shots go to you your account :-0

At 200%, some users are getting error: exitCode=256

From OttoAllmendinger/gnome-shell-imgur#16

I always just click the link anyway

It would be a great feature if users could define a naming pattern for the screenshots in the extension settings.

Personally i dislike blanks in filenames, timezone isn't important for me and the day/month isn't needed either - all those facts could be solved with a user-defined naming.

It would need some predefined keywords like

• Date
• Time
• Hostname
• Dimensions

some of those with parameters like

• Date(Ymd)

in combination with plain strings

Example:
MyUeberScreenshotName_%Date(Ymd)%_%Dimension%_%Hostname%

Results in:
MyUeberScreenshotName_20161123_800x600_pcname.png

When locking the screen and coming back, clipboard copy stops working. Restarting the shell fixes it.

Getting a new clipboard reference via Gtk.Clipboard.get_default() does not seem to help.

Hi, i installed new version for screen shoting but i don't have options with uploading on imgur. I just have select area, select window, whole window and settings, into settings i don't have tabs with imgur like on screenshop in readme, did you tell me what can i do for uploading screens on imgur? Thanks for the patient!

The reddish overlay is captured along with the selected area.

This illustration is worth many words:

Fedora 24, Gnome 3.20

When I try to copy a screenshot to the clipboard and then paste into a program (such as GIMP), it doesn't work. Meanwhile using the default Ctrl+PrintSrc shortcut works. Can you reproduce that?

From OttoAllmendinger/gnome-shell-imgur#44

Do you thought about adding an option to censor pictures before uploading them to imgur, like f.i. shown here?

This would come very handy.

Thanks for this great extension!

Reproduction steps

1. Open Screenshot Tool settings
2. Go to 'Storage'
3. Change 'Save Location' to a folder
4. Delete that folder
5. Take a screenshot

What happened

Nothing happened. No screenshot was taken.

How to fix

1. Show error message
2. Create folders (may be nested, i.e. save folder is abc/def/ghi but delete abc)

Please allow the current notification click actions to be defined differently for other mouse keys.
e.g. So this could be possible:

• Left click: Area
• Right click: Menu
• Middle click: Window

Remove an old screenshot (still shown in the dropdown) that the user may not want anymore. It could be done automatically after a few seconds/minutes (option in settings) or even just manually with a "Clear" menu item. Thanks!

Often its useful to delay the screenshot if you want to bring up some tool tip or popup to be displayed in the screenshot.

Currently it does not look like this is possible and would be a nice feature to have, an OSD counting down would also be a nice feature :)

Hello!

Thank you for delay feature — I've been waiting for this.

But I was confused when screenshots began to be made after some "lag" (as I thought). I was forced to wait for screenshot after selecting area.

Some time later, when I click with right mouse button, instead of usual left, I saw non-zero delay.

Everytime I need to make screenshot with delay — I need it once, and I'm ready to set the new delay for next screenshot.

Please, reset delay after making screenshot (make it one-time), or add a config option for this.

Thanks.

Migrated from: OttoAllmendinger/gnome-shell-imgur#37

When taking a screenshot on retina desktop (which is typically scaled x2), resulting uploaded image has giant 2k width (while scaled "real displayed" is divided by scale factor).

For example, this image:

take a look at original link: http://i.imgur.com/dCDu452.png

The solution might be an option in settings, something like "Downscale from HIDPI display", which uploads not original, but 2x down scaled image.

Regression of #16

https://extensions.gnome.org/errors/view/3766 you need to be logged in apparently

Copy of report:

What's wrong?
Timing error causes area screenshots to contain the selector itself sometimes.  This results in a blue tint over screenshots, which can be very inconvenient. 


What have you tried?
I've looked for a way of either hiding the selector or making a delay, but I lack the experience to do so.


Automatically detected errors:

GNOME Shell Extensions did not detect any errors with this extension.

Version information:

    Shell version: 3.22.3
    Extension version: 11

installed from https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1112/screenshot-tool/

I suggest to add a timer to take the screenshots, so if you have to take a screenshot after performing any action with the keyboard or mouse, you will have enough time to do it before getting the screenshot.

Hello!

I'm using gnome-screenshot, but it doesn't allow take screenshot of selected area with delay.

I'm trying this extension, but it doesn't allow set delay for screenshot at all.

Thanks.

Hello,

I've recently upgraded to 18.04 and started using Xwayland which is great.

Versions:

GNOME Shell 3.28.1
wayland 1.19.6-1ubuntu4

How to reproduce:

0. Log in to Ubuntu 18.04 using Ubuntu on wayland
1. install gnome screenshot tool via gnome tweaks or extensions.gnome.org
2. take screenshot
3. observe blue overlay on the screenshot as attached below:

The problem does not exist under Xorg.

When creating ie user help documentation, the mouse cursor location can help focus on what's important on the picture.

Hello,

Thank you, it is a very nice extension :-)

But the .scaled image used for notifications should not be saved besides the screenshot itself.
Is it only necessary?

Hello,

I love your extension, it's well done and works smoothly, but for security reason i can't upload my screenshots on imgur.

So i hacked your code on my laptop and changed these two lines in uploadImgur.js to point your client to my own REST interface.

const clientId = "c5c1369fb46f29e";
const baseUrl = "https://api.imgur.com/3/";

Everything works good, but i wonder if you could allow users to do that via GUI.
In case that you're wondering what servers users could upload to: i wrote my own.

Thanks

Right now a user can only guess which version of gnome-shell-screenshot he is using as far as i tell.
The metadata.json does not contain a version info either.

The following is supported in metadata.json:

"version": 1

A version number could simply be the commit date or similar if you dislike complex versioning

Why a version number:
I already managed to overwrite my current installed version of gnome-shell-screenshot (with an older version) while visiting https://extensions.gnome.org/ and trusting the offered update-notification.

Ideas about how to
I would love to see an additional tab in the UI featuring:

• version number
• the project url

and maybe optional

• developer name,
• license and whatever else

If you dislike the idea of an additional tab - how about a small gray footer text on the current UI-tabs.

Some users don't want the image there after it was captured.
