Title: gnome-screenshot ignores "--area" if called from shortcut Status in “gnome-screenshot” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “gnome-utils” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: By pressing "Print" a screenshot of the whole desktop gets taken. But I would prefer if I could always choose the area of the screenshot by hand. By calling "gnome-screenshot --area" from commandline you can select the area. So I went into System -> Shortcuts (? have a German layout) and deactivated the shortcut "print" for taking a screenshot. Now I added a new shortcut with the command: "gnome-screenshot --area" and assigned the "print" key to it. (Theoretically I am done at this point) But if I press the print key a screenshot of the whole screen gets taken. And there was NO area selection. If I change the command from " --area" to "--interactive", then by pressing the "print" key the property window pops up (if i select there the checkbox area-selection I can choose the area). Assigning "gnome-screenshot --area" to a different key/ or combination of keys has the same result - the area selection never shows up. (The interactive mode always works) Do I miss something or did I found a bug? And can anyone tell me if there is a fix? As a workaround I tried putting the command into a script and then calling the script per shortcut with the same result: the area selection never shows up, (the interactive mode does). I am using Ubuntu 9.10 with kernel 2.6.31-20-generic (without compiz or any desktop effects) loe To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screenshot/+bug/549935/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
