[Enhancement] Panel plugin: Option to always copy/save/upload the screenshot
Thanks for this reliable screenshot tool! I use it a lot to take screenshots during my digital lectures and insert them into my notes.
The panel plugin already very handy for this as one can quickly launch the screenshot tool (even on a touch device without a keyboard).
It is also already possible to configure it so that one can select a region by default.
But the option to by default copy the taken screenshot is not yet possible. So one always has to do one additional click to finish taking a quick screenshot (at the window wether to save, copy or upload the taken screenshot).
Enhancement: In the plugin settings, add a drop-down list where one can select the default action to do after a screenshot is taken. This list could have the elements Save
, Copy
, Host on Imgur
and maybe Open with App
.
As an alternative one could create a .desktop file using the existing screenshooter cli options --region --clipboard
, give it a name such as Screenshoot Copy Region
and then in the XFCE4 app menu right click on the Screenshoot Copy Region
entry and add it to the Panel.
cat <<EOF > $HOME/.local/share/applications/xfce4-screenshooter-region.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Screenshoot Copy Region
Comment=Select region of screen to copy
Categories=GTK;Utility;
Exec=xfce4-screenshooter --region --clipboard
Icon=org.xfce.screenshooter
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
EOF
What do you think, is it worth the effort to add such an option to the screenshooter panel plugin? Or should one maybe add the above .desktop file as an example to the screenshooter documentation?
Best regards,
Daniel
