'''Flameshot''' is [[Article description::a powerful, simple to use screenshot software that includes in-place editing capabilities, support of various shortcuts, and multiple other configuration options.]]
It is written in C++, can be used via a CLI or GUI, and has multiple interactive editing options of screenshots and custom output destination (save, upload, copy to clipboard, open with other software).
==Installation==
=== Emerge ===
Emerge {{Package|media-gfx/flameshot}}:
{{Emerge|media-gfx/flameshot}}
Note: there are currently no specific USE flags for the package.
==Configuration==
Flameshot can be configured by using the GUI, the CLI, or by modifying the configuration file.
Without configuration, Flameshot will run with the default settings.
===GUI===
To configure with GUI, the following command can be used:
{{Cmd|flameshot config}}
If changes are made for the first time in the GUI settings, they will also be applied to the configuration file in {{Path|~/.config/flameshot/flameshot.ini}}.
In order for changes to be written to the configuration file, modifications to that specific option must be made. Otherwise, if the default option is unchanged, there will be nothing written into the configuration file.
===Command line interface===
The following syntax can be used for configurations with CLI:
{{Cmd|flameshot config [config-options]}}
The available options for CLI configuration can be found by referring to the help pages or the [[man page]]s:
{{Cmd|flameshot config --help|man flameshot}}
Checking for mistakes or issues related to the configuration file can be done with the <code>--check</code> option:
{{Cmd|flameshot config --check}}
===Configuration file===
Some of the settings, can also be done by editing the configuration file. On Linux the configuration file can be found in {{Path|~/.config/flameshot/flameshot.ini}}.
The configuration file could look like this, please note that this is only an example with only a small set of available configurations and every time a change is made to a setting through the GUI, the new value will be written here:
{{FileBox|lang=toml|1=[General]
allowMultipleGuiInstances=true
contrastOpacity=188
copyPathAfterSave=true
disabledTrayIcon=true
savePath=the/configured/path/to/save/screenshots
showDesktopNotification=false
showStartupLaunchMessage=true
uiColor=#960090|filename=~/.config/flameshot/flameshot.ini}}
It is also possible to make changes to the configuration file directly, which will be immediately applied. This makes it possible, to modify Flameshot settings through the use of scripts and automate the process of screenshots taking. For more, see usage section.
Furthermore, please note that it is possible to use the same configuration file for Windows systems (and reverse).
To accomplish this the <code>savePath</code> variable in the {{Path|flameshot.ini}} have to be adjusted to the new correct save path to meet the DOS / UNIX directory structure.
Additionally the {{Path|flameshot.ini}} has to be moved to {{Path|%appdata%\flameshot\flameshot.ini}}.
== Usage ==
When executed without parameters, the {{c|flameshot}} command will start a running instance of the program in the background without taking any actions. If the system has tray icon support, a flameshot tray icon for further interaction and information will appear.
=== Arguments ===
Some key arguments for taking screenshots are:
Capture with GUI tool:
{{Cmd|flameshot gui}}
The GUI tool provides the possibility to edit the taken screenshot in-place, to copy it with Ctrl+C directly to clipboard, adding text, correction of the capturing area, resizing, and a lot more of intuitive usable features.
Capture full screen:
{{Cmd|flameshot full}}
Capture specific screen:
{{Cmd|flameshot screen -n <screen number integer>}}
Further arguments are available:
;<code>-p</code> to specify a custom save path
{{Cmd|flameshot gui -p ~/myStuff/captures}}
;<code>-d</code> to define a delay in milliseconds
{{Cmd|flameshot gui -d 2000}}
;<code>-c</code> to copy directly to clipboard
{{Cmd|flameshot full -c -p ~/myStuff/captures}}
For more arguments and additional information please refer to the documentation, the [https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot README.md] and the man pages.

===Shortcuts for taking screenshots===
If shortcuts for screenshots are desired, they must be manually enabled. This is done by setting one or more of the desired command-line options from the Usage section as commands for specific key combinations on the system. (For example {{c|flameshot gui}})
Since these settings can be achieved in different ways across different desktop environments, window managers, and system settings it is recommended to check the related [[Desktop environment|Gentoo Desktop Environment Wiki Section]] of the installed desktop environment or the [[Window manager|Window Manager Section]] if using a minimal Window manager system or to refer to the documentation of the used interface, to find out how to set up custom shortcuts.
For KDE Plasma and XFCE there is a description in the [https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot#global README on github], how to achieve this.
==Troubleshooting==
===Flameshot does not start and / or GUI does not open on a minimal window manager===
Flameshot works the best with dbus, so make the session dbus aware. Refer to [[Window manager|Window Manager]]. For example for i3:
{{FileBox|exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session i3|filename=~/.xinitrc}}
===GNOME Wayland and Plasma Wayland===
The Support on GNOME Wayland and Plasma Wayland is still Experimental.
===No tray icon on GNOME===
The {{Package|gnome-extra/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator}} extension is necessary to see the system tray icon.

Installation[edit]
Emerge[edit]
Emerge media-gfx/flameshot:
root #emerge --ask media-gfx/flameshot
Note: there are currently no specific USE flags for the package.
Configuration[edit]
Flameshot can be configured by using the GUI, the CLI, or by modifying the configuration file.
Without configuration, Flameshot will run with the default settings.
GUI[edit]
To configure with GUI, the following command can be used:
user $flameshot config
If changes are made for the first time in the GUI settings, they will also be applied to the configuration file in ~/.config/flameshot/flameshot.ini.
In order for changes to be written to the configuration file, modifications to that specific option must be made. Otherwise, if the default option is unchanged, there will be nothing written into the configuration file.
Command line interface[edit]
The following syntax can be used for configurations with CLI:
user $flameshot config [config-options]
The available options for CLI configuration can be found by referring to the help pages or the man pages:
user $flameshot config --helpuser $man flameshot
Checking for mistakes or issues related to the configuration file can be done with the --check option:
user $flameshot config --check
Configuration file[edit]
Some of the settings, can also be done by editing the configuration file. On Linux the configuration file can be found in ~/.config/flameshot/flameshot.ini.
The configuration file could look like this, please note that this is only an example with only a small set of available configurations and every time a change is made to a setting through the GUI, the new value will be written here:
FILE ~/.config/flameshot/flameshot.ini [General]
allowMultipleGuiInstances=true
contrastOpacity=188
copyPathAfterSave=true
disabledTrayIcon=true
savePath=the/configured/path/to/save/screenshots
showDesktopNotification=false
showStartupLaunchMessage=true
uiColor=#960090
It is also possible to make changes to the configuration file directly, which will be immediately applied. This makes it possible, to modify Flameshot settings through the use of scripts and automate the process of screenshots taking. For more, see usage section.
Furthermore, please note that it is possible to use the same configuration file for Windows systems (and reverse).
To accomplish this the savePath variable in the flameshot.ini have to be adjusted to the new correct save path to meet the DOS / UNIX directory structure.
Additionally the flameshot.ini has to be moved to %appdata%\flameshot\flameshot.ini.
Usage[edit]
When executed without parameters, the flameshot command will start a running instance of the program in the background without taking any actions. If the system has tray icon support, a flameshot tray icon for further interaction and information will appear.
Arguments[edit]
Some key arguments for taking screenshots are:
Capture with GUI tool:
user $flameshot gui
The GUI tool provides the possibility to edit the taken screenshot in-place, to copy it with Ctrl+C directly to clipboard, adding text, correction of the capturing area, resizing, and a lot more of intuitive usable features.
Capture full screen:
user $flameshot full
Capture specific screen:
user $flameshot screen -n <screen number integer>
Further arguments are available:
-p to specify a custom save path
user $flameshot gui -p ~/myStuff/captures
-d to define a delay in milliseconds
user $flameshot gui -d 2000
-c to copy directly to clipboard
user $flameshot full -c -p ~/myStuff/captures
For more arguments and additional information please refer to the documentation, the README.md and the man pages.

For KDE Plasma and XFCE there is a description in the README on github, how to achieve this.
Troubleshooting[edit]
Flameshot does not start and / or GUI does not open on a minimal window manager[edit]
Flameshot works the best with dbus, so make the session dbus aware. Refer to Window Manager. For example for i3:
FILE ~/.xinitrc exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session i3
Flameshot does not start on a Wayland Compositor[edit]
Flameshot requires some packages to be installed in order to work properly with Wayland compositors.
root #emerge --ask sys-apps/xdg-desktop-portal gui-apps/grim
The sys-apps/xdg-desktop-portal is required for desktop integration with backend implementations.
Flameshot uses gui-apps/grim to grab images from a Wayland compositor.
Additionally, you will also need to make sure that you have installed one or more backends implementations that are appropriate for your environment (e.g. gui-libs/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr).
GNOME Wayland and Plasma Wayland[edit]
The Support on GNOME Wayland and Plasma Wayland is still Experimental.
No tray icon on GNOME[edit]
The gnome-extra/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator extension is necessary to see the system tray icon.

<p>Flameshot can be configured by using the GUI, the CLI, or by modifying the configuration file.
</p><p>Without configuration, Flameshot will run with the default settings.
</p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="GUI">GUI</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/index.php?title=Flameshot&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: GUI">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h3>
<p>To configure with GUI, the following command can be used:
</p>
<div class="cmd-box"><div><code style="color: #4E9A06; user-select: none; font-weight: bold;">user <span style="color:royalblue;">$</span></code><code>flameshot config</code></div></div>
<p>If changes are made for the first time in the GUI settings, they will also be applied to the configuration file in <span style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 95%; color: #3c763d; font-weight: 600;">~/.config/flameshot/flameshot.ini</span>.
</p><p>In order for changes to be written to the configuration file, modifications to that specific option must be made. Otherwise, if the default option is unchanged, there will be nothing written into the configuration file.
</p>

<p>The following syntax can be used for configurations with CLI:
</p>
<div class="cmd-box"><div><code style="color: #4E9A06; user-select: none; font-weight: bold;">user <span style="color:royalblue;">$</span></code><code>flameshot config [config-options]</code></div></div>
<p>The available options for CLI configuration can be found by referring to the help pages or the <a href="/wiki/Man_page" title="Man page">man pages</a>:
</p>
<div class="cmd-box"><div><code style="color: #4E9A06; user-select: none; font-weight: bold;">user <span style="color:royalblue;">$</span></code><code>flameshot config --help</code></div><div><code style="color: #4E9A06; user-select: none; font-weight: bold;">user <span style="color:royalblue;">$</span></code><code>man flameshot</code></div></div>
<p>Checking for mistakes or issues related to the configuration file can be done with the <code>--check</code> option:
</p>
<div class="cmd-box"><div><code style="color: #4E9A06; user-select: none; font-weight: bold;">user <span style="color:royalblue;">$</span></code><code>flameshot config --check</code></div></div>

<p>Some of the settings, can also be done by editing the configuration file. On Linux the configuration file can be found in <span style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 95%; color: #3c763d; font-weight: 600;">~/.config/flameshot/flameshot.ini</span>.
</p><p>The configuration file could look like this, please note that this is only an example with only a small set of available configurations and every time a change is made to a setting through the GUI, the new value will be written here:

</pre></div>
<p>It is also possible to make changes to the configuration file directly, which will be immediately applied. This makes it possible, to modify Flameshot settings through the use of scripts and automate the process of screenshots taking. For more, see usage section.
</p><p>Furthermore, please note that it is possible to use the same configuration file for Windows systems (and reverse).
</p><p>To accomplish this the <code>savePath</code> variable in the <span style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 95%; color: #3c763d; font-weight: 600;">flameshot.ini</span> have to be adjusted to the new correct save path to meet the DOS / UNIX directory structure.
</p><p>Additionally the <span style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 95%; color: #3c763d; font-weight: 600;">flameshot.ini</span> has to be moved to <span style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 95%; color: #3c763d; font-weight: 600;">%appdata%\flameshot\flameshot.ini</span>.

<p>When executed without parameters, the <span style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 95%; font-weight: bold;" class="tripleclick-separator">flameshot</span> command will start a running instance of the program in the background without taking any actions. If the system has tray icon support, a flameshot tray icon for further interaction and information will appear.

<p>If shortcuts for screenshots are desired, they must be manually enabled. This is done by setting one or more of the desired command-line options from the Usage section as commands for specific key combinations on the system. (For example <span style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 95%; font-weight: bold;" class="tripleclick-separator">flameshot gui</span>)
</p><p>Since these settings can be achieved in different ways across different desktop environments, window managers, and system settings it is recommended to check the related <a href="/wiki/Desktop_environment" title="Desktop environment">Gentoo Desktop Environment Wiki Section</a> of the installed desktop environment or the <a href="/wiki/Window_manager" title="Window manager">Window Manager Section</a> if using a minimal Window manager system or to refer to the documentation of the used interface, to find out how to set up custom shortcuts.
</p><p>For KDE Plasma and XFCE there is a description in the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot#global">README on github</a>, how to achieve this.
