I've been looking for something like this, I used to use ShareX for screenshots before I moved to Linux. The problem with ShareX is that it isn't natively built for Linux and has problems under WINE. Thanks a ton for finding this!
I had a similar journey - after switching mostly to Linux I was forced find a new screenshot solution. This is by far my favorite that I have found. Flameshot is similar but without the tabs and loading of images back, so that would be my #2 choice
@@freewarefocus I was using flameshot too, haha. I had multiple problems with bindings for flameshot, as half the time they never worked. This already has been working flawlessly, and it is even faster than ShareX. Good ol' Print Screen can thrive again.
It is called Galaxy Home 4k and is one of the thousands of wallpapers available for Wallpaper Engine (about $4 on Steam). Wallpaper Engine is highly recommended if you run Windows & are in the Steam ecosystem
Flameshot is quite good and is my second favorite screen tool. ShareX on Windows only is also good too. I am glad people are listing their favorite tools because there are several good options and people have differ needs and preferences
That is one of the thousands of wallpapers that are free with Wallpaper Engine ($4 on Steam). So if you Window and Steam it is a great purchase for a small price - highly recommend if you have wallpaper ADHD like I do
This software seems great and I want to use it, but it behaves strange on the i3wm: every time I want to take a screenshot, the program pops out even if it was minimized or was on the other screen. I tries unticking different boxes in the setting, but nothing seems to work for me
I don't run i3wm so can't share any experiences. Linux is a bit of a challenge with all of the flavors of desktops and underlying technologies. As a backup you might try Flameshot, which is my second favorite screenshot tool (also free, open source, cross platform, etc).
@@freewarefocus I found the issue. The default action for launching it from system tray was to show the editor. This program is great, it's exactly what I need as a teacher.
Your right, it doesn't. However if you are capturing a long scrolling web page, just use Firefox and add the screen capture to the toolbar. It will save the entire web page to your Downloads folder as a PNG and then you can use the File Open in Ksnip to open it up and mark it up as you like.
Pretty limited Wayland support. For example, the global hotkeys don't work I believe. Hopefully the devs are working on better support since Wayland is wave of the future
That is a fine for the one off occasional screenshot but if you are doing lots (I do hundreds per year) then the turnaround to bring each one into an editor really kills your productivity. Also I don’t know of any regular image editor that has auto incrementing number stickers nor a streamlined toolset just for making screenshot documentation. That is why I was paying for a commercial product until I switched to ksnip. Some people are happy with MSPaint - some need something like Photoshop - different requirements
i don`t heavily use screenshots on my Debian but just because this app deserves to be recognised, I install it. Well done creators.

Spectacle FTW 🚀🌖
Where did you get your desktop wallpaper from ? It’s beautiful

flameshot ftw.
i just use flameshot and a global hotkey. i don't have that much use for complex features, i just want to draw a box and that goes into my clipboard
Flameshot is quite good and is my second favorite screen tool. ShareX on Windows only is also good too. I am glad people are listing their favorite tools because there are several good options and people have differ needs and preferences
excelent!
I'll just use spectacle
What a fantastic wallpaper! Where can I get it?

It doesn't take screenshot of scrolling area.

I wanted to love it, but it doesn't support Wayland yet apparently.

So basically
Just screenshot and open it in whatever editor you like)

I prefer shareX
ShareX is great but Windows only and I am in the process of ditching Windows like a lot of tech folks are
