Send a persistent notification after taking a screenshot #137

Open danirabbit opened 6 years ago

danirabbit commented 6 years ago

This is a migration of https://github.com/elementary/screenshot-tool/issues/30

After taking a screenshot, Gala should send a persistent notification using the screenshot preview as the notification image. Clicking the notification should open the image in the default image viewer.

This would give:

  1. A visual queue that the screenshot was completed, useful when sound is disabled or the user is not able to hear
  2. A way to quickly view/edit/share the screenshot without having to know where screenshots are stored on the filesystem

I still also like the idea of being able of dragging and dropping that preview: https://github.com/elementary/screenshot-tool/issues/29 (which was also implemented in KDE Plasma 5.9).
