> Flameshot can now be run in "one off" mode which means the background systray component is now optional. See the CLI details below.<p>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.
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.<p>[1] <a href="https://shottr.cc/" rel="nofollow">https://shottr.cc/</a>
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.<p>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.<p><i>Yes!</i><p>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.<p>[0] <a href="https://github.com/KDE/spectacle" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/KDE/spectacle</a>
Somewhat related / complementary - Capture2Text is a great Windows OCR screenshot tool, i.e. for capturing graphical text and converting it to textual text:<p><a href="http://capture2text.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">http://capture2text.sourceforge.net/</a><p>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.<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/ksnip/ksnip/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ksnip/ksnip/</a>
