Public bug reported:
Dear developers,
I tried both options --file and --clipboard individually and they just work.
user@host ~/ $ gnome-screenshot --area
--file=/home/user/Desktop/Screenshot_1.png
user@host ~/ $ gnome-screenshot --area --clipboard
However running gnome-screenshot with both options does not work as
intended, i.e. make a copy to the clipboard AND store a copy on my
desktop or in a Screenshot folder for later reference. I am used to this
behaviour from the LightScreen app.
user@host ~/ $ gnome-screenshot --area
--file=/home/user/Desktop/Screenshot_1.png --clipboard
I guess the problem is with the following peace of code from gnome-
screenshot-3.16.0/src/screenshot-application.c
if (screenshot_config->copy_to_clipboard)
{
screenshot_save_to_clipboard (self);
screenshot_play_sound_effect ("screen-capture", _("Screenshot taken"));
g_application_release (G_APPLICATION (self));
return;
}
It obviously does a g_application_release and return before actually saving the
image to file.
Suggested fix is to move this code block after the block saving the image to
make it work.
Kind regards,
Stefan
