New Feature: Show Toolbars Only When The Mouse Hovered In

[mistgc]

The toolbars don't display if the mouse doesn't hover in the app window.

And show the toolbars when we hover in.

[gabm]

thank you for that idea.. could you explain what we try to achieve with this feature?

[mistgc]

Ha-ha. Imagine a scenario where a programmer is writing code while looking at other people's code snippets. Like this:

[mistgc]

We could pin some screenshots on the screen.

[gabm]

okay, so an image viewer-like functionality? isn't that what image viewers like imv are for?

[mistgc]

While this is true, we can add annotations to the image.

[gabm]

okay.. well I think there is nothing wrong with hiding the toolbars on demand. I would prefer a shortcut for this, like Ctrl-T for "toggle toolbar" or something like this.

I must say that I am a big fan of explicit behaviour (shortcut/button toggles toolbar) and not dynamic behaviour (mouse hover toggles toolbar). Further I think that should be "opt-in" .. not the default behaviour. There might be a setting "hide-toolbar-on-startup" or something similar..

I am happy to accept PRs

I implemented the basic functionality #45 , but there isn't support for configuration.

[mistgc]

Now, it supports configuration https://github.com/gabm/Satty/pull/45/commits/6fb3d689ada2445f7dbcb442adbc15e71f52df9a. However, it doesn't support hovering to show toolbars yet.

What are your thoughts on Krita like toolbar which gets opened using right-mouse-button ?

[mistgc]

I think most people find this very convenient, but for users who frequently use keyboard shortcuts (such as Window Manager, Vim-like Editor, Emacs), it is not convenient.

[KAGEYAM4]

You're right, Plus it's will increase development time which would be wasteful as this dosen't offer much as keyboard based implementation will still be there plus the hovering toolbar.

I like the way that flameshot took. 'toolbar' is outward of the image. Buttons reflow if the selection was made near the screen edge.

[gabm]

how does it work when you want to edit the fullscreen image, e.g. without crop?

[alteriks]

It's been ages since I took fullscreen shot. Using flameshot screen asks only about saving file. I don't recall if you could edit fullscreen shot after it had been taken.

the first basic functionality has been released as https://github.com/gabm/Satty/releases/tag/v0.10.0
