Bug ID: 360925
Summary: Default Dbus shortcut prevents multiple instances of
Spectacle by continuing to press PrntScr
Product: Spectacle
Version: unspecified
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: m...@baloneygeek.com
Reporter: myst...@gmail.com
I've used ksnapshot for years with a simple custom shortcut: prntscrn = command
"ksnapshot"
I modified this now to run Spectacle and it runs as expected: multiple
concurrent sessions of a screen capture program running, as I modify contents
on my screen and want to take multiple shots in rapid succession to edit later.
Click window - prntscrn; click option in window - prntscrn again; keep doing
step by step workflow in my program - prntscrn each time, leaving me with
sometimes >20 or more screenshot windows open.
This is how I think it should work by default; the org.kde.Spectacle action is
preventing this, and I consider this to be a bug or something that is
definitely explained to people who expect their screenshot program to hold
numerous copies of itself in memory waiting for the user to process the pic(s)
further.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. PrntScrn
2. PrntScrn Again
3. PrntScrn 20 more times because you expect 20 more windows to popup out of
frustration
Actual Results:
One single window opens; if this one single window is no longer foreground, it
does not even pop itself back up into foreground. It just sits there, behind
the active window.
Expected Results:
Default action of keeping multiple screenshot windows in the background, and
automatically starting a new one if the button is repeatedly pressed.
