[Bug] Screenshot preview not functioning

[jonahbrawley]

Potentially could be an ignis bug, but when taking a screengrab on my system the image preview is just black. Maybe a dependency missing on my system?

Notification center:

Are you doing screenshot of area or full screen?

[jonahbrawley]

Screenshot of area, but the same behavior happens with fullscreen

[linkfrg]

Are the screenshots themselves saved in ~/Pictures normally? Also please attach the ignis.log (~/.ignis/ignis.log) or the output from the terminal where Ignis is running

[jonahbrawley]

Screenshots will save successfully in ~/Pictures. No particularly useful output from killing ignis and running ignis init in terminal:

> ignis init

ignis.log also shows the same

Sorry, wish I had more helpful info to share. Maybe it has something to do with the notification daemon dunst?

Maybe. It is advisable to uninstall it

Can you open a one colored application (like xterm) (with no black color) in fullscreen and take a screenshot?

[jonahbrawley]

Just tried opening Xterm in fullscreen with F11, took a screenshot and still no preview

Tried switching from grimblast to hyprshot, and preview works there. This should work just fine for my purposes. Will opt to close this and if I find a way to make grimshot work, I will update here
