Excellent piece of software, I use it so much it's now second nature. I remapped my prntscreen button on Ubuntu long long ago and have never even thought to search for a replacement.
I recently discovered Shottr [1] (Mac only), but very happy... like their innovative masking tool.
Flameshot is fantastic. More distros should make it the default.
One of my favorite utilities on linux - I probably use it a dozen+ times a day, every day (have it bound to PrintScr). Took me a couple minutes this morning to remap my shortcuts though using the new gui mode.
I particularly like the "Drop Numbered Bubbles in incrementing value" option.
first new feature: >>> We are dropping "semver" and going forward will be using a major and minor version.
Yes!
I never really understood the sense of "semver" for applications
Flameshot is quite good, but to me it's always played second fiddle to Spectacle[0]. Flameshot's purple bubble UI and strange UX workflow makes it a hard pick when native choices are just this good.
Somewhat related / complementary - Capture2Text is a great Windows OCR screenshot tool, i.e. for capturing graphical text and converting it to textual text:
http://capture2text.sourceforge.net/
No affiliation with the project, just a tool I really like.
IMO ksnip[1] brings an amazing experience to the user as well, and I highly recommend it.
This tool has way too many features.
Is Flameshot better than Greenshot or ShareX?
use it often, one of my must-have linux utilties.
> Flameshot can now be run in "one off" mode which means the background systray component is now optional. See the CLI details below.
This was my main turn off from flameshot - I found it weird to have something running in the background all the time just for taking screenshots. I'll be giving it another go.
