[opensuse-factory] ksnapshot replaced by kscreengenie, but does not migrate
After updating somewhere around 20160107 I noticed, print scrn btn no longer works. This is caused by two issues: 1) ksnapshot is removed (apparently I missed it in dup), and not replaced by kscreengenie (ie not installed) 2) still cannot figure out (short of making custom command shortcut) how to configure it to launch when print scrn btn is pressed #1 seems like a packaging issue as it should obsolete the ksnapshot and this be installed. #2 is perhaps a upstream bug as it is rather silly to just break a feature and not wire up the replacement. -- Jimmy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
Looks like in theory it should be fixed. https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/KDE:Applications/spectacle/spec... Also for the curious: # Upstream changed name twice (kscreengenie - kapture - spectacle) -- Jimmy On Sun, Jan 10, 2016 at 12:46 AM, Jimmy Berry <jimmy@boombatower.com> wrote:

#1 seems like a packaging issue as it should obsolete the ksnapshot and this be installed.
#2 is perhaps a upstream bug as it is rather silly to just break a feature and not wire up the replacement.

Jimmy, Please read my email from yesterday. The KDE Applications 15.12 update has not fully landed in Tumbleweed yet. Therefore strange things can happen. ksnapshot was already deleted, but spectacle was not accepted yet. Therefore there is no screenshot program for the moment. This is not a packaging issue, but a timing issue. I am wondering however how ksnapshot got removed as that no package was obsoleting it. But maybe this is caused by the zypper dup. This would also mean that spectacle will not get installed automatically anymore as that ksnapshot has already been deleted. program installed on you system, so it is logical that a print scrn button will not launch anything. Spectacle comes with the hotkeys that would make the print screen work again Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Sounds like a rather interesting failure, but timing (ie getting half of a app update) is still to packaging issue, just a different one.

Relax, please read what I wrote instead on my case. "perhaps" means I am inquiring and suggesting a possible reason. Thanks for clarifying.

To clarify, I installed kscreengenie since it is the only package available and it does not bind to print screen. Obviously, the package is being renamed (again) to spectacle. Just recording my steps, I expect to wait and see once full apps update in in TW. -- Jimmy On Sun, Jan 10, 2016 at 7:06 AM, Jimmy Berry <jimmy@boombatower.com> wrote:

The kscreengenie was just provided 5 months ago as that it was a new way of capturing screens. There was always a discussion ongoing to replace ksnapshot and that happened now with KDE Applications 15.12.0. During this process the name was changed to spectacle and as it became the default the correct keybindings were added. After installation of the package the PrtScrn button should directly call up spectacle (as was with ksnapshot).
Just recording my steps, I expect to wait and see once full apps update in in TW.
As indicated by Dominique, most of the KDE Apps 15.12 update has been accepted now and a new snapshot for Tumbleweed will be build and tested. Once this is finished the update will be provided. I am not sure if spectacle will install automatically (this would definitely happen for those that still have ksnapshot installed).

This is not a packaging issue !!! KDE Applications 15.12 update exists of about 218 separate packages. For a particular reason certain packages got tested in a different staging area for Factory and they got accepted together with a couple of delete requests. This can not be prevented with a packaging issue as that it is not a single package. And I am sure that you also do not want to install everything, but just what you want to install yourself.

Well, just grabbing a package from somewhere and then complaining about it is also not the right way. Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

FYI, if it still doesn't work after installation (this mainly affects people that use the KDE:* repositories since it's not in TW yet) you may need to remove your khotkeysrc file (but bear in mind that any custom hotkey bindings will get *lost*). -- Luca Beltrame - KDE Forums team KDE Science supporter GPG key ID: A29D259B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

It's doable from within KDE: Systemsettings - Hot keys - Special Keys. It contains the old entry for ksnapshot, plus a new one for Screenshots. Open it, change the hotkey from None to PrtScr, accept replacement of the previous binding. Done. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a. Knurpht

I did it in this way on Leap. Daniele. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
