Hi,
we have this patch from Nicolas Fella that unfortunately got stuck.
https://phabricator.kde.org/D22074
The feature works but I think there was need to figure out how to handle
the dependencies.

David

Hi,
Given the way Spectacle is architected this is very much possible from
a technical standpoint. I can't think of a very good UX for this
though. If someone can come up with a good UX for this, implementing
it won't be too hard - at least for me.
Thanks,
Boudhayan

Hi Clemens,
I’m not responsible for Spectacle stuff, but as a user I would
really like it.
I often want to take a screenshot of some small detail, and taking
the
screenshot twice feels not optimal. The existing rectangle function
is nice
for repeated screenshots of the same detail, because it remembers
the
rectangle.
We already have Gwenview and Okular, where one can crop and make
annotations,
so implementing editing functionality in Spectacle would be a bit
redundant.
But I think that cropping is so simple that it can be added to
Spectacle.
Cheers, David

I would like to contribute to the KDE project and was looking for
a good
issue to start with. One thing that always annoyed me, and I think
is a
relative easy task to start with, is the missing functionality to
select
parts of an already taken screenshots in Spectacle. For example,
after
taking a screenshot I would like to be able to select a portion of
the
image to copy it into another application.
I know that there is the rectangle function to take a screenshot.
However, sometimes you need to take a screenshot quickly with a
single
key press and IMHO the rectangle feature is not optimal for that.
Furthermore, I found it a bit difficult to discover this feature
(only
noticed it when looking for it just now, normally I always press
the
screenshot key and do the detour through an image editor).
From my point of view its also more natural to first take a full
screenshot and then select the needed region. This would also make
it
possible copying multiple parts out of the same screenshot. This
feature
would be complementary to the existing rectangle function.
Do you think being able to select a region in the main window
would be a
good addition? I haven't thought about any details yet since I
first
like to get some feedback if this feature is desirable at all or
if it
already has been rejected for other reasons.
Best,
Clemens
