Please change this to $HOME. I understand the technical reason for this (ksnapshot saves the png to /tmp) however this confuses users, especially those who do not know what /tmp is or that it even exists. Thanks.

Steps to reproduce: 1) Open KSnapShot 2) Click Open With, and select KolourPaint 3) In KolourPaint, save the word via either keyboard shortcut, icon, or File -> Save. The image is saved in /tmp, whereas I would expect the image to be saved in /home/user.

That makes this a dataloss issue and I am therefore increasing the severity to major.

IIRC, KSnapshot "Open With" menu only show standard options from .desktop files, so my first proposal should use a special .desktop entry for "Open on KolourPaint from temporalFile". Or may be KSnapshot should offer a special KolourPaint thingy... However, I guess that if you open the same file from KSnapshot using any other image editor like GIMP, this is going to happen. So I has this should be addressed in KSnapshot side to not have to patch the other external apps (which is impossible for non-KDE ones) Do you have any other idea about this ?

Dario, I will speak with some of the software-engineers-to-be at my university and either close this as "Dotan asking for the impossible" or post a workaround. There are some rather smart guys lurking around there. The university is on vacation now, but I will follow up as soon as is possible. Thanks.

How about if Ksnapshot were to save the file as ~/yyyymmdd-hhmmss.png instead of /tmp/last-saved-filename.png?

Once used, and in the absence of configurability of the file open/save behavior of that app, the only logical place is the location last accessed by that app. See also: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104501#c2 Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdegraphics/+bug/296405/comments/13 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2011-01-05T20:11:21+00:00 BajK wrote: It was nice if it at first worked! When triggering KSnapshot for the first time and then choosing “Send to” KolourPaint is given an empty file (with the correct name) but it seems not to exist. I couldn‘t find the bugreport for this so quickly but I think it has been reported (be me? :D) some time ago.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years and I will be closing this bug. Spectacle is the replacement for ksnapshot now. Please test again and file a new bug for Spectacle if you still have issues. Thank you!
