It's two different plug-ins to begin with:


For anything but the Microsoft Windows platforms:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/plug-ins/common/screenshot.c

For the Microsoft Windows platforms:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/plug-ins/win-snap/


Probably doesn't have to be this way, that's just how it got
implemented, and so far there has been no reason to change it.

A patch that unifies the code of the plug-ins, and makes screenshot.c
work for the Windows platforms as well - preferably with as little
platform-specific code as possible - would be nice.

Please note that this has been tried before.

I think that’s the six million dollar question.

You replied to my post, but your answer would make sense if you met to apply to

  Hello!

  I'm regularly an Ubuntu Gimp user, but have occasion to use Gimp on

Re: [Gimp-user] Windows Version lacks 'Select a region to grab'

[Dora Smith]

So are you having trouble selecting a region to grab, with other kinds of 
images in GIMP or only screenshots?


I haven't tried to use that feature; I use select, then copy, then paste, or 
else clip the first image to what I actually want and then paste it as a new 
layer.


If there is a selective problem with screenshots, it may be the image type 
or something of that sort; try saving it to a different file type in your 
screenshot program.

I use Screenshot Captor, for Windows 7.   It is excellent, and has all the 
options you need.  You can select, crop, resize, and do some other things 
I've not had to do, and save it in quite a variety of formats.   It even 
saves it in its own screen and then you can just open the program and drag 
and drop to email screenshots.


Ubuntu has good screenshot programs available through the software 
manager, and I like them as well.




I know, but on the other hand I'll very often edit the screenshot(s)
with Gimp anyway, because Gimp can do eveything the screenshots editors
do, and more...

Windows generally doesn't capture the mouse pointer when doing screen
grabs. Irfanview does have an option to grab it if you want. Also, win has
a handy built in screen capture program: windows snipping tool.

Re: [Gimp-user] Windows Version lacks 'Select a region to grab'

It has never occurred to me to use GIMP to do screenshots.  At face value, 
that sounds like extra work, kind of like using WORD to do screenshots.


I use Screenshot Captor, for Windows 7.   It is excellent, and has all the 
options you need.  You can select, crop, resize, and do some other things 
I've not had to do, and save it in quite a variety of formats.   It even 
saves it in its own screen and then you can just open the program and drag 
and drop to email screenshots.


Ubuntu has good screenshot programs available through the software manager, 
and I like them as well.


But what version of Windows are you using?   Ofnuts' guess brings to mind 
the fact that Windows 8/ 10 has serious identity confusion; it often thinks 
it's a tablet.   "Can't get the mouse pointer when doing a screenshot of the 
whole screen" - really?   LOL!


You know, you could get a second hard drive and try out one of the Ubuntu 
flavors.   Unity most closely resembles Windows 8, and Kubuntu most 
resembles Windows XP, and if you add the Cairo dock (requires up to date 
video processor and its own Linux drivers if it has them), it resembles 
Windows 7.   Unity won't run if the video processor isn't up to date either, 
and it can be hard with gnome.   But if you've got Windows 8, the video 
processor is up to date, because it's a new computer.
