Spectacle can't assume that the active window would have an appropriate window title for a region capture. Imagine you have a text editor focused, but you capture a region of your web browser. You might think "then use the web browser window title", but there is no way to do that on Wayland. In the first place, it is not possible to get the active window title while doing a region capture on Wayland. On X11 (only passively supported by Spectacle since 6.8), there is still no reliable way to know what the window title of the selected region should be. Even if there was, what about regions spanning 2 or more apps? At least, I suppose a screen name or description might be a reliable region title for Wayland and X11, as long as the region only spans 1 screen. Examples: "HDMI-A-1" (name) or "LG Electronics LG HDR 4K" (description) > I don't someone would add <name> to the name with the intent of not having > <name> in the name. Originally, it was just supposed to provide some extra info whenever it happened to be available, so you might put it at the end like "Screenshot_<yyyy><MM><dd>_<HH><mm><ss>_<title>". A more broadly useful way to have the beginning start with something meaningful would be good. However, it's a separate issue from whether the <title> filename template token is bugged since turning it into something more broadly useful requires more planning and effort than a bug fix. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
