Bug ID: 387721 Summary: "screenshotArea" dbus API needs a "selectArea" method or similar Product: kwin Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: je...@zemarmot.net Target Milestone: --- I have implemented screenshot through KWin API in GIMP. It is working fine except for the rectangular area screenshot. "org.kde.kwin.Screenshot" provides a "screenshotArea" method, but it requires to get coordinates. While this could be done in X11, in Wayland, this can only be done through an API. Here is for instance GNOME API for screenshots: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/tree/data/org.gnome.Shell.Screenshot.xml As you can see it provides a "SelectArea" method which allows to select a rectangular area interactively and returns coordinates and width/length. Could KDE implement something similar? It looks like you could also make good usage of it. In Spectacle code, I see that grabRectangularRegion() shows an "// unsupported", so I assume it doesn't work in your own screenshot application (untested, just assumption! :P): https://cgit.kde.org/spectacle.git/tree/src/PlatformBackends/KWinWaylandImageGrabber.cpp Anyway thanks! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
