Bug ID: 413571
Summary: Export -> <app> stores screenshot persistently to save
location
Product: Spectacle
Version: 19.08.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: m...@baloneygeek.com
Reporter: gr...@sub.red
CC: k...@david-redondo.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When using the export function to open the screenshot in another app, it is
saved persistently to the configured "save location".
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Take screenshot with spectacle
2. Click export -> select another application
OBSERVED RESULT
Screenshot is persistently saved to configured "Save location"
EXPECTED RESULT
Screenshot is shared via clipboard or temporary file
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.63.0
Qt Version: 5.13.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is a change in behaviour. Earlier versions of spectacle didn't do this.
The behaviour is also not clear to the user. "Export" and "Save" are two
different actions, labeled with two different icons.
The "Save Location" is set in the "Save" tab. There is no hint, neither in text
nor in icons that this location is applied to the "Export" function as well.
I also think those functions are analogous to a web browser's download
functions "open with" vs. "save to". The first stores the file in /tmp and
opens it with a selected program, the last saves to a given path. I'm quite
sure that's what people expect from Export/Save in Spectacle as well.
