Flameshot Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Lightshot app not starting up.

  I like others in the comments here, found FlameShot on github https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot which seems to be a carbon copy of LightShot with some very good extra features! Source: 11 months ago

• Microsoft to change PrintScreen button to open the Snipping Tool in Windows 11

  I feel like it's actually a rare great idea out of Microsoft. Too bad the Shipping Too sucks eggs compared to FlameShot (now available on Windows!): https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot#preview ;). - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• flameshot not working in sway (typing "flameshot gui" hangs in the terminal)

  See these links for more info: * flameshot: flameshot gui from cli does nothing. Dbus error UnknownMethod: "No such interface “org.freedesktop.portal.Screenshot” #2872 * xdg-desktop-portal: No such interface “org.freedesktop.portal.Screenshot” on object at path /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop #861 * xdg-desktop-portal-wlr: screenshot: Announce version property.

• Draw on screenshots

  Don't know if this solves your problem but I'm using flameshot for these kinds of things since many years. It's a great screenshot utility tool and I've configured DWM to take a screenshot / open up flameshot when pressing a certain key combo. It allows everything you'd want from such a utility (including drawing, annotating, numbering, ...). Source: over 1 year ago

• What software do you miss from Windows & macOS?

  FlameShot is fairly close to ShareX (not quite 1:1 though). Source: over 1 year ago

• What is your go-to screenshot/capture tool, and why?

  I think Flameshot is pretty popular, but I use grim (with slurp). Source: almost 2 years ago

• binding print key to execute flameshot gui

  This might seem like a dumb question, but how do I bind the "print" key on my keyboard to execute the flameshot gui? Source: almost 2 years ago

• How verbose are you in your reports?

  Also, since I am not a native speaker, I only added a brief one or two sentence description to the image and I used flameshot (https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot) to capture my screen and illustrate the image so that reader could understand it anyway even if they only looked at the image.

• Screenshot tool

  I really like annotating my screenshots so I use flameshot: https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot. Source: about 2 years ago

• Screenshot app: remembers "selection" mode, copies to clipboard, wayland support?

  Did you try flameshot? GitHub - flameshot-org/flameshot: Powerful yet simple to use screenshot software. Source: about 2 years ago

• 0 delay screenshot tool (or: How to make background shortcut not interfere with active window?)

  Flameshot works well for me at capturing immediately including tooltips etc and not closing menus... YMMV (Greenshot on Windows has a configurable delay so you can say "Capture 5 seconds from now" but you have fiddle with settings each time... haven't seen the same in Flameshot).

• My sleek and modern Linux development machine in 2021

  Screen capture: I use this nifty tool called Peek for screen recording and Flameshot for screenshots. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Spectacle merged support for Active Window screenshots on Wayland for Plasma 5.24!

  I don't think it's quite feature-ready yet (especially as far as Wayland is concerned, as noted on the repo) but it's worth keeping an eye on Flameshot. Source: over 2 years ago

• YSK of Lightshot, a simple yet effective screenshot tool for Mac & Win

  On Linux, look at Flameshot which comes with a figurative ton of features. Source: over 2 years ago

• Programs that are holding me back from completely switching to Linux (Manjaro)

  Flameshot - its even better because it doesnt open editor, it has built in text tools, pointers, lines. https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot. Source: over 2 years ago

• APSE – A Personal Search Engine

  This is just a simple bash script and Apache Tika (https://tika.apache.org/). You could script this together in minutes. Try https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot and feed the results through Tika to OCR the results. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• How to copy images out of org-mode and into the clipboard?

  But I can't copy the image out, without drawing a rectangle around the image with a screen capture tool like flameshot. I can only copy the emacs image file path as shown above. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Its my cake day and i hate js

  Or flameshot It is similar to greenshot but the editor is built as part of the capture selection, for me it is more convenient. Source: almost 3 years ago

• When I hover my mouse over a YouTube video I want to then run a Python script that will download that video to my computer

  Huh? What? Why? For example, I map CopyQ (if you've never used it, check it out, its a great clipboard manager) to F1. I can press F1 without looking. And, well, that works for me. I map F5 to Flameshot ("Powerful yet simple to use screenshot software" if you've never used it, check it out as well). Source: almost 3 years ago

• Image Processing Software Development

  This may be too specialized for your interests, but I'd love to see a more fully-featured image editor/annotator for Flameshot. It's a screenshot tool that allows you to add text/blurring/arrows, etc. But it lacks some features that I like from Windows-only tools like snagit:. Source: about 3 years ago

• Looking for a Linux app like ShareX

  Flameshot has gotta be the best screenshot tool on Linux -- annotations, colors, and destination upload. It only has an Imgur upload destination though. Source: about 3 years ago
