--- Comment #3 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> --- That already happens for apps using the portal API. It doesn't happen for Spectacle and Flameshot because they use a special internal KWin-only screenshot API that bypasses the confirmation prompt, for usability's sake. They do this because they are screenshot apps, and as I alluded to before, making an app ask the user for permission every time it wants to exercise its primary purpose makes people want to throw their computers out the window. Now, you might say, "the existence of this backdoor means any Wayland app can use it to take screenshots without permission on KWin". And you would be right. There are trade-offs here. It's an open topic of discussion, and we may end up porting back to the portal API and trying to improve its usability. For example, asking only once per app, as you suggested. It may or may not be feasible, though. Regardless, this is a topic that KWin and Plasma folks are aware of. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
