Selection button inactive (was: Shutter does not work in Wayland) #187

Open Photon89 opened 4 years ago

Photon89 commented 4 years ago

Running Gnome 3.18 and Gnome Shell as the new Wayland Compositor, shutter doesn't work. I.e. it's only creating a screenshot of the shutter logo in a distorted way.

I don't if that's something that can be fixed easily, but it seems Wayland (security) related.

Otherwise thanks for this outstanding screenshot tool!

Confirmed, though I'm not sure whether it's the Shutter logo I'm seeing.

This is related to the security in Wayland, which prevents applications from seeing other application's viewports.

Gnome-screenshot manages, so it must be possible in some way. I'm just not sure what API is being used.

Ok, now in Ubuntu 17.10 using Wayland. Shutter tries to take a screenshot but only got the Shutter icon distorted.

I found some shortcuts useful in gnome-screenshot, not a workaround but still useful. Actually I am seeing for the first time the gnome shortcuts as well:

PrtSc = Capture screen Alt+PrtSc = Capture Active App/Window Shift+PrtSc = Capture Area

Shutter is a lot more than a simple screenshot-application.

It allows you to immediately ftp your screenshot to a websever and then it copies the url of that screenshot into your clipboard (automatically) so you can can quickly share screenshots with other people via chat/email/etc with simple ctrl-v paste.

Additionally, it allow you to edit a screenshot; you can draw arrow to potions of the image you want to emphasize before collaboration.

I use it so frequently, and it is such a time saver to alternative methods of accomplishing these needs, that must downgrade to Ubuntu 16.04.3 until it works in Ubuntu 17.10, or until there is an alternative that truly compares.

Ubuntu 17.10 is looking great, but I have to have sophisticated applications like shutter, autokey-gtk, or I simply can't upgrade. Ubuntu is not a toy for me. I use it for work and productivity.

I guess it's not easy to implement the capture code from gnome-screenshot into shutter?

It should be feasible. I mean, gnome-screenshot is one thing, but there's also Google's screen sharing feature, available in Hangouts which works very well in Wayland and, to my knowledge, does not require root access or anything.

I understand it's not an easy task in any way. I'd be glad to help though.
