| This has the same issue as most screenshot software, it's out of date relative to modern devices. Every Mac laptop for the last ~4 years has an HDR display. Many windows devices are also HDR. But this app doesn't capture HDR. I tried putting up an HDR image and then capturing the screen. All HDR brightness was gone from the image. I get it's not easy per-se. It wasn't until MacOS Tahoe that Apple's own screen capture on Mac started supporting HDR. Windows 10/11, AFAIK, only supports HDR through the XBox Game Bar's capture. Apps like ShareX still only capture SDR. I mostly bring that up because I have apps the draw HDR and spent some time trying to find ways to add tests that we're actually getting HDR on the screen using screen captures. I hit a wall and gave up (2021). |

| Flameshot is the best! I've been using it for 10+ years. I have it wired up to some hot keys in my window manager, and have it dump to s3 so I can paste around links to screenshots everywhere for work. https://github.com/kingcu/screendrop |

| Love flameshot. Did my due diligence for screenshot tools, found it, and never tried anything else again :) |
| |
| ▲ | brightball 6 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | Same. I tried probably 6-7 different tools on Ubuntu before I found Flameshot. It was everything I was looking for. | |
| ▲ | sngltoon an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | Your comment makes me think this is even sketchier which was already at 'very sketchy'. You did exactly zero code audit. It's probably malware. | | |
| ▲ | saintfire 35 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | This isn't some brand new vibe-coded software trying to propagate malware on HN. It is and has been a solid screenshot choice for a long time and has existed as OSS for a decade. | | | |

| Great software. On a small note: This recent PR is both awesome and pretty funny to me. https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/pull/4498#issue-3... |

| ▲ | simtel20 25 minutes ago | parent | prev [-] | | Oh, thanks for the link. I've been using flameshot for most of the past decade, but haven't been able to use it with pop-os and my monitors recently because it was derotating my monitor. |

| Flameshot is great! It was one of the reasons I have not switched to Wayland. Although it seems now they have wayland support in beta. |
| |
| ▲ | nickjj an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | The good news is a few lines of shell scripting, grim, slurp and satty can be combined to create a decent alternative. Hit a hotkey, capture a region, get presented with a way to annotate it and easily copy it to your clipboard or write it to disk. I use it on a multi-monitor system and it works no problem with Wayland. Here's an example from my dotfiles: https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles/blob/master/.local/bin/do... It supports capturing a region, a specific window or the focused monitor. | |
| ▲ | ktm5j 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | I think it's beta for a reason. I just tried the appimage for their latest release and it's behaving in the same broken way that I remember. I have a multi-monitor setup with different size & resolution screens, so that may be a factor for the problems I'm having. Really hope it'll work someday. |

| Hopefully wayland support will improve |

| ▲ | WinstonSmith84 an hour ago | parent [-] | | Maybe try Spectacle. I use the OOTB Spectacle app on Fedora KDE. It has the same features as Flameshot and is .. well, native. But on my Mac, I use indeed Flameshot, it's not ideal (the window is "shrinking" when a screenshot is captured), but it's better than any alternative I tried. | | |
| ▲ | koiueo 41 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Why would you use anything but Shottr on macOS? I'm not affiliated, but the software is simply on a whole different level. They deserve all the fame. |

| I love flameshot, before it I used Shutter and I don't regret switching to Flameshot whatsoever. I use it on my work and personal laptops (Debian+xfce4) |
| |
| ▲ | koiueo 37 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Shutter is great in terms of features. I just recently discovered it. But its code... Thousands (like definitely over 10k) of lines of procedural perl. I had a feature in mind I wanted to contribute and I couldn't even scratch the surface.
I doubt this software can evolve any further. |

| Honestly the best screenshot software I've used so far is KDE's built-in printscreen thingy. I think it's called Spectacle. Does exactly all of the things you want - easy copying of regions, recording videos of regions (Wayland only unfortunately), annotation, etc. One of the few times in Linux land where the UX is actually significantly better than Windows or Linux, and there's basically no jank at all. (The only slight jank I noticed is that on X11 the "Screen recording" button just ... doesn't do anything. No "you need Wayland" message. Just nothing. I'll give it a pass though because the rest is so surprisingly great. Good job Spectacle authors!) I do use ShareX on Windows for video recordings but Spectacle is better. |

| I love flameshot and use it at work all the time for ridiculously marked-up and snarky screenshots to send co-workers or attach to JIRAs. Part of me wants to believe the "flame" in flameshot is for flaming people, like yes, you see this shit here? How about a nice big arrow so you don't fucking miss it |
