Installing Flameshot on Fedora 27 (screenshot tool)
-
Flameshot
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lupoDharkael/flameshot/master/img/appPreview/animatedUsage.gifThis is by far so much better than the Shutter or the built-in Gnome Screenshot tool.
Normally, I prefer and only install software from a repo... but I think this will be the only exception. Using it with a keyboard shortcut, it's too good to be true... but it's true! You can even grab right-click menus thanks to the ability to keyboard shortcut it.
Installation
-
Install prerequisites:
dnf install qt5-devel gcc-c++ git qt5-qtbase-devel qt5-linguist -
Download Flameshot from here:
https://github.com/lupoDharkael/flameshot -
Then run the following command from within the Flameshot directory:
qmake-qt5 && make -
Install:
make install
Keyboard Shortcut
-
Remove desired keyboard shortcut if it's already in use.
-
Create a keyboard shortcut to launch the following command:
flameshot gui
Enjoy!
Simply use your new keyboard shortcut to take screenshots or screen clippings, with the ability to edit them in real-time!
Note: I've only tried it on Fedora 27 Workstation in Gnome 3.26. It works perfectly so far.

Nice, on Deepin I am using Deepin Screenshot and it works well too.

I love being able to edit and manipulate screenshots in real-time... before it even gets to the clipboard or saving it. So damn convenient.
Now I can uninstall GIMP.

I used the peek program here
https://github.com/phw/peekThey have an installer for Fedora
https://github.com/phw/peek#fedoraIn my case I needed to make my own deb package.

Nice, I hate always having to hit all the extra steps to edit, but shutter is so much better than the built in. But this just looks awesome.
I do right click menus in shutter all the time too since I bind it to a shortcut key.
But this looksmuch nicer.

@dbeato you need to leave a blank line between a quoted post and your reply.
This annoys the fuck out of me when people do this..
Do you all not look at your posts after you make them?
