Title: A different screenshooter - Flameshot
Post by: DeepThought on November 23, 2019, 07:35:33 AM
Code: [Select]
https://flameshot.js.org/#/
A possible addition to Linux Lite 5 either default or in Lite-software. It is available in the ubuntu repo and can be installed with "sudo apt install flameshot".

Most screenshot utilities are adequate for what can be done... take a full-screen shot, take a screenshot of a section etc... but once taken if the screenshot has personal info showing you need to edit it in another program.

Flameshot has "In-app screenshot edit" and so you can blank out that personal info, or add arrows pointing things out, all before the screenshot is actually taken and so no need for a second program for editing. Also the IMGUR site is incorporated within so you can upload your shots for others to see without the need to upload manually.

I hope this will be considered as an addition in the future. :)

Hello All

I also suggest Flameshot cause it is much better that once I used under Windows

Great idea. It's indeed way better than Xfce's screenshooter (which is way too basic).
The only thing missing is a feature to capture the full desktop or selected window - this was requested : https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/5
Kde offers Spectacle (https://apps.kde.org/fr/spectacle/) which has also plenty of production features.

As GUI tool I tested:

* Shutter (https://shutter-project.org)
* Flameshot
* ksnip (https://github.com/ksnip/ksnip)

winner for me: ksnip
