Version 13.0.0
This is the beta for the version 13.0 release and our first release after porting to Qt6. Thanks for all the porting help @ElTh0r0. I also want to give a special shout out to @mmahmoudian for managing the project for 3 years with limited developers to help.
There are still some "paper cut" type bugs in addition to the larger ones listed in the section below. But we feel there are enough large bug fixes to warrant a release while we work to fix the other issues.
Please spend time testing this release and reporting new bugs. It would be especially helpful to open a random existing bug and update it if its still a problem in v13 beta.
Known issues / workarounds
Mixed monitor setups continue to be an issue. We have an idea for a large rework to address this in version 14.
Confined apps (flatpak / snap) on Ubuntu gnome does not properly interact with the permission dialogs. To work around this run this command shell to manually grant permission:
flatpak permission-set screenshot screenshot org.flameshot.Flameshot yes
Breaking Changes
Snap packages are likely to be dropped for version 13 unless someone can help with the confinement issue discussed here: https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/4016
The imgur uploader is disabled by default at compile time. Users that wish to re-enable this can build from source with -DENABLE_IMGUR. We expect this to be a bit controversial but we believe this is the best direction for the project. [ℹ️ ]
The goal for Flameshot is to be a lightweight screenshot / annotation program. The imgur uploader is a program in its own right
The authors of Flameshot are increasingly privacy conscious. Having a misclick in a screenshot program accidentally upload sensitive data feels very risky.
We continue to discuss and iterate ideas for a plugin system [ℹ️ ]. When that is completed users who wish to have an uploader right in their screenshot program can implement this in a plugin
We will keep the imgur uploader code in the code base until plugins are ready
Please let us know your thoughts either way. This is not a vote, but we are interested in the communities opinion.
Flameshot returns exit code 1 if taking screenshot is canceled (e.g., by pressing Esc ). This is to make Flameshot easier to integrate into shell scripts. [ℹ️ ]
Configuration window tabs were re-ordered according to their importance to users. [ℹ️ ]
New Features
Flatpak is now verified in Flathub. [ℹ️ ]
Package maintainers can compile out the update checker using -DDISABLE_UPDATE_CHECKER.
The pixelation feature has been replaced with a new "secure" implementation that only uses pixels outside of the area to be redacted.
Screenshot dimensions are now interactively shown in the capture widget. [ℹ️ ]
Pinned images can now be rotated. [ℹ️ ]
A grim based screenshot adapter has been added to work with more wlroots Wayland compositors. Users can enable this in settings. [ℹ️ ]
Users can symmetrically resize (holding Shift ) and preserve aspect ratio (using Ctrl ) while resizing.
Pinned images can have a transparency effect applied. [ℹ️ ]
Bug Fixes
MacOS release are properly notarized for aarch64.
MacOS clipboard now supports JPEG. [ℹ️ ]
The Flameshot full now captures all regions of all monitors. (ℹ️ )
The "Use last region" is now ignored in modes other than flameshot gui. [ℹ️ ]
Fix pin tool wrong offset on Linux. [ℹ️ ]
Use native path separator for different OSs. [ℹ️ ]
Pinned images scrolling using mouse on macOS [ℹ️ ]
