Favorite?
You'll pry Spectacle out of my cold, dead hands.
- Only on KDE, unfortunately. It's the thing I miss most after switching from it.
  
  It doesn't work outside of KDE?
- Flameshot mogs spectacle
ShareX is one of the few things I missed when I switched from using Windows.
- Same. I just switched to Mac for my work machine, and the screenshot app situation on Mac is plain dire. Actually just installed Flameshot earlier today, looks great so far.
So there's hope for Sync users yet.
Another major change disables Imgur uploads by default. The developers cite privacy concerns about users accidentally sharing sensitive screenshots on public platforms.
Am I misinterpreting this, or does this imply that older versions of Flameshot automatically uploaded all screenshots to Imgur?
- no but images uploaded to imgur can be discovered by people just browsing imgur which isn't obvious to people who assume you have to have the link to see it
  
  Okay, sure. Are you saying the feature was actually removed entirely? The article makes it sound like it is just disabled by default now, but still exists.
- IIRC, earlier there would be a button to upload to imgur whenever you took a screenshot. I guess now you'd need to intentionally enable the feature to see the button.
I've literally never been able to get this app to work 😞
- Me either. Works great on Windows but I moved to Linux a year and a half ago and it’s always been broken.
- If you're on wayland KDE, create a window rule to make it always on top. Then it works fine.
  
  Ah, I use GNOME, maybe that's why?
