SUMMARY
When using spectacle in the cli, if I use the option `--edit-existing` with
other options (e.g. `--region --background`), it segfaults.
I was testing spectacle via command line with the intention of reproducing the
behaviour of flameshot, take a screenshot and edit it right away.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Spectacle GUI is not open.
2. Take a screenshot with this command: `spectacle --region --background
--nonotify --output /tmp/shot --edit-existing /tmp/shot`.
3. Result: segfault.
4. Ensure /tmp/shot exists: `spectacle --region --background --nonotify
--output /tmp/shot` (take the screenshot).
5. `file /tmp/shot` (this will be an image file).
6. Repeat the command from step 2.
7. Result: segfault.
OBSERVED RESULT
Segfaults.
EXPECTED RESULT
While I understand that the `--edit-existing` option is treated as
"standalone", meaning that the image file must exist beforehand *and* it
(probably) shouldn't be used with other screenshot options, I think that
spectacle should manage this situation better than segfaulting.
Request: spectacle should warn the user or fail gracefully if incompatible
options are used.
