Flameshot is great! It was one of the reasons I have not switched to Wayland. Although it seems now they have wayland support in beta.

I have worked with Wayland + Flameshot for the past 2-3 years and it seems to work fine as far as I can tell.

I'm guessing you don't have multiple monitors :)

The good news is a few lines of shell scripting, grim, slurp and satty can be combined to create a decent alternative.

Hit a hotkey, capture a region, get presented with a way to annotate it and easily copy it to your clipboard or write it to disk. I use it on a multi-monitor system and it works no problem with Wayland.

Here's an example from my dotfiles: https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles/blob/master/.local/bin/do...

It supports capturing a region, a specific window or the focused monitor.

Flameshot with sway has been a nightmare for me. I have tried a couple of times but i have never gotten it to work. I have settled with grimshot. The biggest missed feature is the number annotator. It was so easy with flameshot to annotate a screenshot with 1-9 and then refer to each number in a document. I really miss flameshot:(

I think it's beta for a reason. I just tried the appimage for their latest release and it's behaving in the same broken way that I remember.

I have a multi-monitor setup with different size & resolution screens, so that may be a factor for the problems I'm having. Really hope it'll work someday.
