vokoscreen version: vokoscreen-2.5.8-10.beta.fc36.x86_64

Now, that's what I call a really loyal follower. Unfortunately I have to announce that this is a totally outdated version and hasn't been maintained for years.

Please install vokoscreenNG from your distribution
or install from my homepage https://linuxecke.volkoh.de/vokoscreen/vokoscreen-download.html
or as a 'flatpack' from here https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.vkohaupt.vokoscreenNG

Try the flatpak version. Matthias Mailänder has done an excellent job here and I would like more feedback on this.

Thanks for the long-term loyalty

Actually this is the one found in fedora latest repo. Speaking about a rolling release. :) Unfortunately I am not a fan of flatpack. I will try to see a workaround.

It is true. I used vokoscreen for years.I really like vokoscreen. this is the only recording app I use on debian. simple straight to the point. Keep up the good work

update: Actually there are two files in fedora repo. they did not remove the old one the new one is vokoscreenNG with version 3.2.0-3. It worked no problems :)

I found and installed vokoscreenNG on a freshly installed Fedora 36.

fedora should remove the old vokoscreen version from their repo I accidentally installed the old version with sudo dnf install vokoscreen I should install it with sudo dnf install vokoscreenNG
