screenshot applet does not work with region (but screenshot script does) #62

Closed Schievel1 closed 7 months ago

Schievel1 commented 7 months ago

I have been trying to figure out what is going on here, it must be something simple, but I can't figure it out apparently. When I make a screenshot using the command screenshot region slurp gets started, I select a region and the screenshot gets saved in ~/Screenshots. Also I get the notification about that screenshot.

But if I click the screenshot applet in the panel and select "Region" slurp gets started as well, I select a region but the screenshot is no saved. (At least not in ~/Screenshots, maybe in some other place I don't know about.) And I also don't get a notification.

Using the applet I can make screenshots of the focused window and also fullscreen and display just fine. It only happens with region.

Using grim and slurp on the command line like this grim -g "$(slurp)" ~/Screenshots/test also works fine.

I knew just when I open that issue it come to me. for the record: screenshot region and selecting region in the applet is not the same. Clicking region in the applet actually call screenshot swappy

Just install swappy. The applet is intended for use with a complete product like nwg-iso.
