Issue with Sway&Flatpak #3335

Closed sandmuel closed 10 months ago

sandmuel commented 10 months ago

Flameshot Version

Flameshot v12.1.0 (-) Compiled with Qt 5.15.10 linux: 6.5.3-1-default opensuse-tumbleweed: 20230914

Installation Type

Flatpak from Flathub

Operating System type and version

openSUSE (Tumbleweed)

Description

When attempting to take a screenshot with the above details an error is given telling me to set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP. I proceed to set to to 'Sway' I try this with both the Flatpak and the native package and neither work. I then proceed to try both once again, but this time with XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP set to 'sway' it continues to fail with the Flatpak, but does succeed with the native package.

From this, the issue seems clear; the Flatpak lacks permissions to read XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP. (Oh and also maybe don't make the value read from XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP be case sensitive)

UPDATE: Turns out it doesn't work with the Native one anymore, it only worked once

Steps to reproduce

run flameshot gui

Screenshots or screen recordings

No response

Turns out I just didn't export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP... oops
