[opensuse] configuring screenshots in Leap421 / plasma 5
In Leap421 / Plasma5 when I hit PrtScr, I get a little pop-up called "Spectacle" which informs me a screenshot has been placed in /home/per/Pictures and stored as png. How do I revert to the previous behaviour from e.g. KDE4 where the screenshot is presented to me with options such as "Save as..." and "Send to..." ? -- Posted with knode 4.14 from openSUSE Leap42.1 Cyrix 486DX2/66MHz, 256Mb RAM, Number 9 GXE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
Hi Per, what about entering ALT - F2 -> spectacle? This provides any option you (might) need.. Take care Dieter Am Samstag, 2. April 2016, 15:25:22 schrieb Per Jessen:

Takes a little too long when compared to just pressing Shift-PrtScr.

As hitting print-screen did nothing I installed Ksnapshot on my leap with Yast. It showed the conflict with spectacle and offered to uninstall it. It was a matter of seconds and now hitting print-screen does what one thinks it should do, without the need for pressing several keys or remembering some sophisticated procedural methods... :-) -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona http://www.daniel-bauer.com room in Barcelona: https://www.airbnb.es/rooms/2416137 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

That's great - I guess ksnapshot also reconfigures the keyboard shortcut? coz' that seems to be the real problem. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.5°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Check configure desktop -> global keyboard shortcuts -> KDE daemon. I have "Start screenshot tool" connected to the key "Print", and active window/full screenshot connected to Meta+Print and Shift+Print. If i hit print, i get the spectacle menu. If i hit Shift+Print, i only get the notification you described.

Ah, that is probably the real issue - I did try just hitting PrtScr, but that did nothing, but because I wasn't sure about the keyboard mappings on this particular keyboard, I tried Ctrl/Alt/Shift too. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.3°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Currently, when I hit PrtScr, nothing happens. Look at the settings you describe, nothing is connected to "Start screenshot tool", but "Print" is connected to "Printscreen". This may sound a little stupid, but how do I change those aassigments? -- Posted with knode 4.14 from openSUSE Leap42.1 office34: Cyrix 486DX2/66MHz, 4096Mb RAM, #9 GXE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

On TW, the Default for "Start Screenshot Tool" on my machine is assigned to "Print". When I press the PrtScn button on my keyboard, Spectacle automatically opens with a preview of the snapshot, and from there I can save it wherever I want. KSnapshot is being replaced by Spectacle as part of the old KDE 4.x programs and libraries not being supported any longer.

I read somewhere that for people on whose machines ksnapshot. got replaced by spectacle, by an update, the key bindings and perhaps other configurations were not correctly updated automatically. So you have to remove the old binding for ksnapshot and add new ones for spectacle. It is probable that a new user will get it right. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

Probably not relevant, but Kubuntu 16.04 KDE doesn't have PrtScr bound. I really hate making configuration changes. I keep starting KSnapshot via the menu (type "snap"). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

No. I had a fresh install on a completely empty machine and print screen did nothing.

In Leap421 / Plasma5 when I hit PrtScr, I get a little pop-up called "Spectacle" which informs me a screenshot has been placed in /home/per/Pictures and stored as png.
How do I revert to the previous behaviour from e.g. KDE4 where the screenshot is presented to me with options such as "Save as..." and "Send to..." ?
Check configure desktop -> global keyboard shortcuts -> KDE daemon. I have "Start screenshot tool" connected to the key "Print", and active window/full screenshot connected to Meta+Print and Shift+Print.
If i hit print, i get the spectacle menu. If i hit Shift+Print, i only get the notification you described.
Currently, when I hit PrtScr, nothing happens. Look at the settings you describe, nothing is connected to "Start screenshot tool", but "Print" is connected to "Printscreen". This may sound a little stupid, but how do I change those aassigments?
Systemsettings - Hotkeys - Special Hotkeys, the install of spectacle has added a "Screenshots" section. Define it's hotkey to PrtScn en accept replacement of the previous hotkey. Done.
Ok, thanks. I guess we'll have to investigate why that isn't the default. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

On my system, it was under System Settings->Shortcuts->Custom Shortcuts ->Screenshots->Start screenshot tool - and indeed no key was assigned there. Under "System Settings"->Shortcuts->Global Keyboard Shortcuts->System Settings I see an action "Printscreen" (assigned to Print) and "Start Screenshot tool" (assigned to nothing) I reassigned Print (had to confirm the override), and it works.

I meant - when I do a screenshot and select "Save as...", the starting dir is / instead of e.g. /home/per/Documents or /home/per/Pictures. In fact, Spectacle probably ought to remember the dir most recently used. -- Posted with knode 4.14 from openSUSE Leap42.1 office34: Cyrix 486DX2/66MHz, 4096Mb RAM, #9 GXE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Ah, I see what you mean. Yes, if I use "Save" or Save & exit", it saves the screenshot as PNG with a default name and into a pre-set directory. When I use "Save as...", it starts out in /, every time.

ah, that is weird. So you hit PrtScr, Spectacle opens, and you chose "Save as...", then change the directory and save the image.

That can happen when you don't have access right for the folders. But since saving the image succeeds, that's probably not the cause. Still, I suggest to check the permissions for all folders in the path. To work around the problem, drag the folder into the bookmark list at the right (if this is a KDE or Gnome file chooser). Also try to delete the configuration, make sure the program can save its configuration, check your journal for hard disk / file system errors. Regards, -- Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla a.k.a.

Not much to check - it's only /home/per/something.
