hotshots's Introduction

HotShots is an application for capturing screens and saving them in a variety of image formats as well as adding annotations and graphical data (arrows, lines, texts, ...).
You can also upload your creations to the web (FTP/some web services).
Because HotShots is written with Qt, HotShots runs on Windows, Linux (MacOSX isn't tested yet).

You want to help ? You can proposed you as translator on transifex.com (HotShots project) or post feedbacks on SourceForge:
- http://sourceforge.net/p/hotshots/tickets for bug report or feature request
- http://sourceforge.net/p/hotshots/discussion/ for general feedbacks

You can also help me by correcting my brief help page (I'm sure you've noticed that English is not my mother tongue! :)) Contact me xbee at xbee dot net

hotshots's Issues

compile failure

I really like Hotshots and it's become an essential part of my workflow. Please keep on with it. As far as I know, it's the only screenshot tool that lets me repeat the last screen selection. this essential for making documentation look consistent.

I recently upgraded to Linux Mint 19. I tried building with qmake -recursive HotShots.pro and get the following error.

g++ -c -m64 -pipe -O2 -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_MULTIMEDIA_LIB -DQT_XML_LIB -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_NETWORK_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++-64 -I. -I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore -I/usr/include/qt4/QtNetwork -I/usr/include/qt4/QtGui -I/usr/include/qt4/QtXml -I/usr/include/qt4/QtMultimedia -I/usr/include/qt4 -Isrc/3rdparty/qkeysequencewidget -Isrc/3rdparty/QSgml -Isrc/3rdparty/wwWidgets -Isrc/3rdparty/qt-json -Isrc/3rdparty/qxt -Isrc/uploaders -Isrc/editor -Isrc/editor/items -Isrc/editor/widgets -Isrc/editor/io -Isrc -I/usr/include/qxt/QxtGui -I/usr/include/qxt/QxtCore -I/usr/include/QxtGui -I/usr/include/QxtCore -I/usr/local/Qxt/include/QxtGui -I/usr/local/Qxt/include/QxtCore -Irelease -Irelease -o release/GroupLayer.o src/editor/GroupLayer.cpp

Global printscreen shortcut not working

I am running Fedora 33 with KDE, and have set the printscreen button to be my "capture region" shortcut. But this only works when hotshots' interface is in focus. I have selected "use system screen capture shortcuts". With the original (QT4?) version, this worked on Fedora 31. The default screen capture (spectacle) is disabled.

I could create a custom shortcut, if I knew what trigger to use. Is there a command I can call to trigger a screen capture? Or a DBUS trigger?

Thanks

Saving file gives prompt "File already exists"

1st file snapshot.png saves fine, but snaphot-1.png and snapshot-2.png ... etc. complains that file already exists. As can be seen here the last file snapshot-3.png does not exist.

Provide deb package for quick download

Thanks for continue developing so useful HotShots app and porting to KDE 5.x / Qt5. Will be good to have pre-compiled deb packages for quick install on Debian / Ubuntu systems, or PPA with same packages.

build fails with commit: 13e583be6e5d648d1a2621f353e883abafe5fa46

on both host debian with qt5 and flatpak sandbox compile fails.

If we can set ~/Pictures ($HOME/Pictures) that would be great

For flatpak which needs /app as DESTDIR or ROOT or PREFIX=/app, I have to manually patch/sed it. Kindly create a script or an option to relocate the software. Thank you

Could you please Suffix image (.bmp, .jpg, .png) whatever selected in the file save dialog, so that this error goes away?

How to open images with "hotshots" at Nemo, Menu and Xviewer LM 20.2

I successfully installed hotshots from source code on my new LM 20.2.
Then I want to open different images not from itself HOTSHOTS, but
RIGHT CLICK image file at Nemo -> OPEN WITH -> HOTSHOTS
At Nemo I can choose applications to open different files.
But when I write at Nemo
"/usr/local/bin/hotshots %f"

and then choose HOTSHOTS -> it writes "HOTSHOTS is already RUNNING"
and not open image file which I have highlighted.
The same for MENU(LM)->Resently used files and Xviewer and Pix.
AT Xviewer and PIX I cannot choose different applications to open images
AT MENU(LM) there are "OPEN with another application", but it doesn't work.
HOTSHOST application made such a way it is more convenient to use it from image files, not from application itself.
On my another system, UBUNTU 16.04 CINNAMON EDITION, everything is working well.
For UBUNTU 16.04, I installed HotShots from a repositoriy.
I think when I start hotshots by "/usr/local/bin/hotshots %f" it open screenshoter, but I need to open editor of images.

HotShots Flatpak for Flathub

Hi,

I would like to publish and maintain HotShots at flathub with your kind permission.
Could you be interested in co-maintaining HotShots flatpak for flathub?

flathub/flathub#2145

Consider a Flatpak port to keep this software in the public domain.

By custom I am making a request to port Hotshots to Flathub. Flathub is a service for universal binary compatible Linux apps. This will insure that Hotshots will be around for years to come and others will have the same benefit from this software as I did. I would hate for this software to be lost to history, as it is vital to my workflow. So if you are interested in porting it let us know. Thank you so much for rebuilding it in QT5.

Show files select image (*.png) as default while saving file

And this is not in flatpak sandbox but from host and running /usr/local/hotshots; when saving, it should show *.png files or (all image files) . Unless we select imagepng till then files are not visible.

CMake project is not set up properly

The CMake project is currently in a subdirectory, while convention tends to have it in the root of the project. There is additionally a CMakeCache.txt file that appears to have been accidentally committed; incidentally, this is the exact reason that the CMake project and build directory are kept separate.

Kindly include desktop file and metainfo.xml in the sources

is this project still maintained?

I am wondering.

I like and use this application so I would like to contribute

Popularizing this app and getting Wayland Support

Hello, I find it unlikely that this app will survive but I really don't want this software to die as it is valuable for my workflow. You porting it to QT5 would have been all that was needed, but because it is a screenshot application it needs wayland support or the screenshot features can be removed and this can be forked into stand alone "hotshots editor" where images and clipboard data is uploaded and edited.

I am aware the new "flameshot app" exist but it is not as powerful as Hotshots.

Do you think it is possible hotshots can be forked to remove the screenshot stuff, but keep the image annotation editor?
