Screenshots appear to be broken

[joelazar]

Since sway 1.7 (wlroots 0.15) update, it looks like when swaylock-effects screenshot feature is broken, and I only get white image as a lock background. From debug logs I don't see any unusual:

I have the same behavior after sway update.

I can confirm the issue with Sway 1.7.

Can confirm aswell

I had the same behavior with the stable release, but when I compiled from the latest source (in Arch Linux “swaylock-effects-git” package) it successfully worked.

Thanks, that solved for me as well. It might be a good time then to make a new release of this package. @mortie

Can verify this finding with Void as well. 1.6.3 screenshots option is available, but broken. Rebuilt with commit a8fc557 and master and screenshots seem to be working fine. I concur this would be a new release would be optimal.

This is now fixed in jirutka/swaylock-effects releases 1.6.10. See #92.
