Describe the bug

When i launch flameshot, either from terminal or application launcher, the system tray appears and it works as expected for the first shot as , but from second one it logs out some error messages as

To Reproduce

• type flameshot in terminal
• click the system tray and highlight portion for screen shot
• once clicked either save or cancel or perform any other actions
• try clicking the system tray again

Expected behavior

The first time it works fine and nothing seems to be out of order, it doesn't work from the second time, so you have to kill and relaunch it.

System Information

Fedora release 34

Have the same behaviour, when using KDE plasma on wayland. Anyway works great on X11. I have razer blade and driver for Nvidia. If it is useful

Can you try flameshot from this pull request: #2003? Though I can't put my finger on it, I have a feeling it may solve your problem.

You can compile from that branch, or you can download a package from here. (find your package of choice and click the "Artifacts" button in the top right corner to download).

Woah, sorry for the really late response. I swtiched to bspwm due to some work related issues on sway. Recently remembered this and today installed sway to try again. This looks a little weird to me, but there is no response on the terminal. It is blank and nothing really happens when i click on the tray icon. Tried right clicking the tray and clicking on take screenshot as well, still no response.

@washbin which Flameshot version have you used in this last round?

[washbin]

I tried with the flameshot version from pull request #2003, as suggested by veracioux.

[mmahmoudian]

@washbin considering that #2003 was merged and 78 commits after that, I would be thankful if you try the most recent commit. You can do that either by the same method as @veracioux said by going to the run for the latest commit or you can try to download all the artifacts for each platform from:

@mmahmoudian i tried from the latest development-build as suggested, Unfortunately there were no changes to the output from last round. However, one new thing that i noticed was, whenever i try with my network connection down, i get a failed to get information about latest version message. Is this just related with checking for autoupdates ? or could it point to somewhere ?

You got it right, it is trying to check for updates.
