Screenshot sharing window while using different Screenshot tool

[stoffelcpr]

Hello Everyone,

I have just installed the latest Manjaro.

I wanted to use Flameshot as screenshot tool and that works as intended… Except…

When I try to take a Screenshot with flameshot a System windows pops up asking if I’d want to share the screenshot with the appication trying to use it. Is there a way to disable this?

If needed I can send you a Screenshot of the window I am talking about

Any help is appreciated. Thanks for reading.

why not use the built in screenshot feature for gnome

Because I prefer flameshot

Welcome to the Forum
Please share the screenshot of the pop up window.

Thanks for the reply and thank you for the welcome msg
This is the window I’m talking about. If I click on share flameshot’ll open and I can take the screenshot using flameshot. But I always have to share the screenshot through this window first.

Thank you. I was trying to find a post like this but the search failed me (or I failed the search).

I updated the post accordingly.

See this Flameshot - ArchWiki and/or this https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/flameshot-default-linux-screenshot-app/ and see if it helps.

[stoffelcpr]

I tried the links and sadly none helped. It’s not really a flameshot issue. It’s not really an Issue at all. It’s the expected behaviour. I just want to know how to disable that default behaviour so I can have the system the way I want it.

[Mirdarthos]

Well, I can’t really recommend anything other than those links as I use KDE. So my suggestions are based on Googling.

See if this can help

Maybe that way you can set the PrtScr to open Flameshot…

[stoffelcpr]

Yeah. Didn’t mean to sound offensive.

I already configured everything. The PrtScr key is already set to flameshot gui to use the flameshot app to take the screenshot. But when I use the print key it opens the window and asks me to share the screenshot with the app before flameshot opens.

This is what happens when I try to take a Screenshot.

This is what happens when I decline to share.

And if I do decide to share, like I said, Flameshot opens and is working as intended.

Thank you for your help though

[Mirdarthos]

No offense taken, relax Bro.

I looked around some more, and maybe this’ll help:

Original website:

If you need or want to replace the PrtScr shortcut do the following:

1. Release the PrtScr binding by this command

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys screenshot '[]'

2. Go to Settings → Devices → Keyboard and scroll to the end. Press + and you will create custom shortcut.

3. Enter name: “flameshot”, command: /usr/bin/flameshot gui.

4. Set shortcut to PrtScr (print).

That is it. Next time you push PrtScr flameshot will be launched.

@Mirdarthos

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys screenshot '[]'

Sadly it didn’t work. I even tried to search for other schemas that may contain any screenshot related keybinds (I think Wayland is the one causing this window to pop up) But I couldn’t find any bindings

[Mirdarthos]

I’m all out of ideas, sorry!

[stoffelcpr]

Np. Thank you

[stoffelcpr]

Okay so I finally found the right wording to google and found a reddit thread that linked me to a github issue.
TL;DR => This window was introduced to prevent arbitrary code execution and there’s already a feature request to give possibilities to prevent the window from popping up every time u want to take a Screenshot.

Screenshot portal without prompt

The issue is not yet resolved but the mere existence of the github issue renders my request for help on this forum done. Thank you all for your help

try setting shortcut command to flameshot gui -p path_to_desired_location. i tried this and didn’t got any pop up window

[stoffelcpr]

Hmm. I just tried it and sadly it doesn’t work for me.

I’ve got the newest Manjaro (21.2.1) maybe your Manjaro doesn’t have that safety feature yet? And gnome.
