The flameshot is updated in the 13.0 edition. The screenshot tool has moved from QT5 to QT6, and brings many changes with it.
Update, was first reported OmgubuntuThis is the first major update for utility in three years, ie since 2022.
You may remember that I reviewed the Flameshot in 2019. The new version of the app directly displays image dimensions in the capture window, ie when you capture a screenshot. You can catch the shift key to symmetically shape images, or catch CTRL to preserve the aspect ratio.
You can enable a grid from the sidebar (when capturing the screenshot), you can also adjust the size of the dots, the anotation can be moved to the grid. The quality of JPEG images can be controlled by configuration settings> General page. The flameshot uses a new date format of%D-%M-%Y. Want to cancel a screenshot? Cut Ctrl and Backspace. Talking about the canceled screenshot, the app now has an option to disable the “screenshot abortion” information. Right-click on the tray menu to open the sev path of the screenshot.
Flameshot 13 is a couple of privacy-centric changes. The app now does not have the option to upload images in Imgur. This feature has been disabled at the compilation time, so it will not be available until you compile the source manually. According to the release notes, the option was removed to prevent users from uploading sensitive data on clouds. Sharex should focus on this, Windows-Kaval Utility Upload screenshots leads the screenshot to imgur, Despite many requests To disable the option from users.
Anyway, back to the flameshot, the pixels feature that is easy to obscure sensitive information in images, now uses a new “safe” implementation that uses pixels outside the area only to re -prepare data.
Windows users can save screenshots in the webp format, the app now has a dark mode interface and supports command line options. The MACOS version Flemshot no longer operates in Rosetta, it is now a native AARCH64 app. In addition, the MAC app clipboard now supports JPEG.
Users who want to try Flammot 13.0 can download the binergies from the project to Linux, MacoS and Windows Githb pageThe flameshot is now verified on Linux Mint’s software manager. However, this package is still on the old version.
