Description Lukas Vlcek 2013-07-27 16:34:34 UTC

Hello.

In the documentation of KSnapshot is this text:
When keeping &ksnapshot; open to take several snapshots using <guibutton> Rectangular Region</guibutton> or <guibutton>Freehand Region</guibutton>, the subsequent snapshots will be initialized with the last shape used with this function (since you launched &ksnapshot;). You have then the possibility to adjust the handles of the rectangular shape, to move the freehand region, or to completely replace the shape by starting to draw a new one at a different place of the screen.

When I take a snapshot always create a new shape. KSnapshot newer use the last shape.

KSnapshot version: 0.8.2

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. translation documantation
2. trying manual
Actual Results:  
When keeping &ksnapshot; open to take several snapshots using <guibutton> Rectangular Region</guibutton> or <guibutton>Freehand Region</guibutton>, the subsequent snapshots will be initialized with the last shape used with this function (since you launched &ksnapshot;). You have then the possibility to adjust the handles of the rectangular shape, to move the freehand region, or to completely replace the shape by starting to draw a new one at a different place of the screen.

Expected Results:  
When keeping &ksnapshot; open to take several snapshots using <guibutton> Rectangular Region</guibutton> or <guibutton>Freehand Region</guibutton>, you will create the subsequent snapshots (when is running &ksnapshot;). You have then the possibility to adjust the handles of the rectangular shape, to move the freehand region, or to completely replace the shape by starting to draw a new one at a different place of the screen.

This is not from your locally installed KSnapshot Handbook for Revision 0.8.2 with KDE 4.10), but from docs.kde.org, where the documentation for KSnapshot is already at KDE 4.11 - the upcoming stable version which will be released in around one week at Wednesday, August 7.

Sorry for confusion and thanks for your report.

I'm sorry. I correct the info.

Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2013-08-11 09:28:10 UTC

Lukas, why did you reopen this? Are you indeed using the KDE 4.11 version of KSnapshot, and the region remembering does not work?

Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2013-08-23 11:48:16 UTC

To further investigate this issue, KDE developers need the information requested in comment #3. If you can provide it, or need help with finding that information, please add a comment.

Comment 5 Lukas Vlcek 2013-08-27 13:43:59 UTC

I'm sorry. I tried KSnapshot in new KDE 4.11 now. The documentation is correct.
