You have been subscribed to a public bug: When an application requests permission to do an screenshot, a dialog opens that offers the user the possibility of allowing or denying applications the permission, and says the choice will appear under Privacy settings. However this is not the case.
If the permission is denied the first time, this breaks the application, since it can never be granted again. If the permission is granted, this creates a security risk, since now all applications can access the screen without an easy way to change the user choice. Steps to reproduce: - Install an application that request permission to screenshots (e.g. flameshot), and execute it.  ``` import dbus bus = dbus.SessionBus() perm = bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.impl.portal.PermissionStore', '/org/freedesktop/impl/portal/PermissionStore') perm_iface = dbus.Interface(perm, dbus_interface='org.freedesktop.impl.portal.PermissionStore') perm_iface.Lookup("screenshot", "screenshot") perm_iface.Set("screenshot", dbus.Boolean(True), "screenshot", {"": ["yes"]}, dbus.Byte(0x00)) perm_iface.Lookup("screenshot", "screenshot") ``` ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: gnome permissions privacy screenshot -- Privacy & Security does not show screenshot permissions. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2089814 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
