Bug ID: 413571 Summary: Export -> <app> stores screenshot persistently to save location Product: Spectacle Version: 19.08.2 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: General Assignee: m...@baloneygeek.com Reporter: gr...@sub.red CC: k...@david-redondo.de Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY When using the export function to open the screenshot in another app, it is saved persistently to the configured "save location". STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Take screenshot with spectacle 2. Click export -> select another application OBSERVED RESULT Screenshot is persistently saved to configured "Save location" EXPECTED RESULT Screenshot is shared via clipboard or temporary file SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.63.0 Qt Version: 5.13.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This is a change in behaviour. Earlier versions of spectacle didn't do this. The behaviour is also not clear to the user. "Export" and "Save" are two different actions, labeled with two different icons. The "Save Location" is set in the "Save" tab. There is no hint, neither in text nor in icons that this location is applied to the "Export" function as well. I also think those functions are analogous to a web browser's download functions "open with" vs. "save to". The first stores the file in /tmp and opens it with a selected program, the last saves to a given path. I'm quite sure that's what people expect from Export/Save in Spectacle as well. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
