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: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
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!
