Settings:
When launching Spectacle: Do not take a screenshot automatically
After taking a screenshot: Save file to default folder UNCHECKED / Copy image
to clipboard
While Spectacle is running: Press screenshot key to: Take a new Screenshot
Remember selected area: Until Spectacle is closed

Spectacle 23.08.5 (On Plasma 5.27.11):
* Open a Spectacle window.
* Take a screenshot using hotkeys. In this example, meta+print for "Active
Window."
* Spectacle window reopens with the newly taken screenshot, without making a
screenshot notification.

Spectacle 24.02.1 (On Plasma 6.0.3):
* Open a Spectacle window.
* Take a screenshot using hotkeys.
* Spectacle window closes after the hotkey combo is used and doesn't reopen.
Still with no screenshot notification. Screenshot is still created in
/tmp/Spectacle.<random> and copied to the clipboard.

In both situations "Quit after manual Save or Copy" is unchecked. Clicking any
of the screenshot method buttons in 24.02.1 behaves as expected, having the
window reopen with the newly taken screenshot.


I've found through launching Spectacle 24.02.1 from the terminal, the process
continues to run after the window closes when taking a hotkey screenshot if
there was already a screenshot taken. Either from having "When launching
Spectacle: Take full screen screenshot" set or by having previously taken one
with any of the buttons in the window.
When taking a screenshot through hotkeys with an "empty" Spectacle window, the
process ends immediately after taking it.
In the case when a Spectacle window already contains a screenshot, a hotkey
exception is "Rectangular Region." Performing that has the Spectacle process
end after the notification closes, which unusually appears.
Nothing new is printed to the terminal after the window closes in any way.

(With Spectacle 23.08.5, using "Rectangular Region" by hotkey with an open
window still has it reopen with the screenshot after selecting an area and
doesn't make a notification.)

When the Spectacle process is in that background state, taking hotkey
screenshots other than "Rectangular Region" will not make new notifications
until: another Spectacle window is opened then closed, "Rectangular Region" is
used with hotkeys and the notification closes ending the process, or the
Spectacle process is otherwise killed.

Without a Spectacle 24.02.1 process already running, the process ends as
expected after the notification(s) from any hotkey screenshot method closes. No
problem there.
