Bug 240051

Cannot confirm this. Use Gwenview to 'open with'.
KDE 4.4.3

This is not about 4.4.3 but a BR for 4.4.81 (trunk, soon 4.5)

I can confirm this bug with recent trunk compiled from sources.
trunk r1109164-1 does not have this bug.
So it looks to me like a regression introduced with the fix r1109164 for http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204628, therefore cc'ing the committer

Same here. Just cannot open any screenshot directly in any application. All I can do is save it to disk and then open it manually. It has been this way since the beginning of my adventure with Kubuntu (10.04).

I can confirm this, it doesn't work for quite some time for me, it's beggining to annoy me.

Can anybody test if this bug also affects Kipi plugins, especially Kopete plug in? So, does it work to send the first screenshot taken directly to a Kopete contact using its kipi plugin? I think not?

Surely someone can, but I'm not using kopete.

I confirm this on Kubuntu 10.10 KDE 4.6.1

When I choose "Sent to" -> GIMP, gimp says:

GIMP Message
Opening '/home/kane/Obrazy/tmp/qq2.png' failed: Could not open '/home/kane/Obrazy/tmp/qq2.png' for reading: Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu

Did you set this weird path to tmp files or is this generated by ksnapshot? Since ~/Documents(?)/tmp is a bit unusual?

Well, I didn't set anything about tmp files. I would expect ksnapshot to
save printscreen to /tmp/snapshot.png or to /tmp/ksnapshot/snapshot.png,
from where it can be passed to gimp or whatever else. Instead of this
~/downloads/snapshot.png is passed to gimp, but nothing is saved there, so
gimp can't open it.

Same here, on opensuse11.4 (kde4.6). I had same on opensuse11.3 (kde 4.4)

I confirm this on Kubuntu 10.10 KDE 4.5.1

Bug is also on LP #730691: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdegraphics/+bug/730691

I confirm this on openSUSE 11.3/11.4 since KDE 4.5. This is really annoying.

I can confirm this bug on Kubuntu (11.04) with KDE 4.6.2

I confirm too, on kubuntu 11.04 with a fresh ksnapshotrc

What annoys me is that I'm sure it is very easy to solve !

it made me smile too:

first I press "Print Screen" and then click on "send to gimp", it tells me
"screenshot1.png" not found.

So I click on "save" -> it saves "screenshot1.png"

and now I click again on "send to gimp", and it tells me
"screenshot2.png" non found !

nice isn't it ?  ;)

Seems fixed on 4.7. I press the PrintScreen key, KSnapshot pops up, I choose “Open with” Gimp or Kolourpaint or Gwenview and it works just fine.

Jea, open the first snapshot works if you NOT save it. If you save it, it won't work until you take a new one (as long as you not save this too). So the case switched from 'first screenshot only opens if it was saved' to 'all screenshots only open if they were not saved'.

Comment #22

Unfortunately it does not work like this. Using:

KSnapshot
Version 0.8.2
Using KDE Development Platform 4.6.4 (4.6.4)

-

GIMP Message
Opening '/home/hyper/Desktop/Screenshot1.png' failed: Could not open '/home/hyper/Desktop/Screenshot.png' for reading: No such file or directory

-

(1) I did press the screenshot button
(2) I chose from the KSnapshot menu to open with GIMP
(3) I did not switch programs while GIMP was loading
(4) I did get the above error

(In reply to comment #23)

I was talking about 4.6.80 (4.7 beta 1).

Same problem in KSnapshot Version 0.8.2 in Mageia.

Created attachment 61267 [details]
The same here

I didn't notice that it doesn't open just the first screenshot.
Sometimes it opens even first screenshot successfully. 
I tried to run the ksnapshot from konsole to see any error messages - not there. But the KolourPaint has the right file name - but blank file. Looks like knapshot is trying to call external program to open the screenshot, but it's not saved yet to the disk...

I have the same bug, excepting that the second (or third...) snapshot does not work better. I try to send the picture to Facebook (album Wall Photos).

The first snapshot, the name is the same as the last saved file and the thumbnail cannot be displayed.
The second (third..) still displays the old name but can show the thumbnail of the snapshot.

Should I open a new bug ?

*** Bug 280863 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I have a similar problem:

1) press print-screen to take snapshot with ksnapshot
2) press "save.." to save file as "myfilename.png"
3) press "send to.." gimp:

error: gimp cannot open file "myfilename1.png"

so ksnapshot sends a name to gimp which does not exist yet

I'm running meanwhile

Qt: 4.7.4
KDE Development Platform: 4.7.1 (4.7.1)

and it works there now. I make a screenshot, and in ksnapshot tell it to open with gimp - works just fine.

The original bug is fixed, yes. But what comment #29 describes is that he opens the snapshot AFTER saving it. And this does not work anymore.

right, and I have to add to my comment #29 that this problem still persists in kde-4.7.1

Yes, the problem in #29 still exists in KDE 4.7.1

So I can confirm that saving the file initiates AutoIncrementing the name which makes the send to file less useful. 

To outline the steps. 

1) Take a screenshot with Ksnapshot and instantly use the sendto menu.

Results: Correctly sends the temporary image file to the resource.

2) Use the Save As to save the file as some unique name and then use the sendto menu to try open the file.

Results: Send to passes along the unique name with an incremented number at the end which has no temporary file or corresponding existing file which produces an error.

Workarounds: If opening an application that you can edit or save with then use sendto first then save from the application or save afterwards. Else just use sendto before saving. 

I don't have any good solutions to this problem since in all other cases you would like ksnapshot to autoincrement your file as soon as you've saved. A temporary code workaround might be (as suggested by richmoore) having a recent files menu that could use the sendto from older files though a much more stable workaround would be to allow programs to pass along resources instead of saved files. That has some issues as well but it's much more flexible and would at least work as intended (with the exception of final file name)

It seems to be fixed in KDE 4.7.3

(In reply to comment #35)
> It seems to be fixed in KDE 4.7.3

I agree, even in 4.7.2 it works for me now

I also think this is fixed, in my case, cheked in KDE 4.9.2.
Please, close this bug.

Can't reproduce using KDE SC 4.10, either.  Close it based upon recent comments.

I confirm this on KDE 4.10.0

Version 0.8.2

try "send to..." and it crashes everytime.

Please, reopen.

You crash is due to mixing incompatible (kipi-plugin related ) binaries from different repos, which has nothing to do with this issue.
