Description johannes.kunde 2020-03-18 10:15:41 UTC

When capturing a screenshot via command line with the following parameters "$ spectacle -rbc" everything works as expected (screen captured by region/area, background mode without GUI, notification pop-up). However, when i extend the command line options like "-rbcn" the clipboard options seems to be disabled.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. capture screenshot from command line with "spectacle -rbc" and watch your clipboard
2. capture screenshot from command line with "spectacle -rbcn" and watch your clipboard

OBSERVED RESULT
Screenshot ist not saved to clipboard with the -n option

EXPECTED RESULT
Screenshot should be saved to clipboard with the -n option

Hi Antonio,

thank you – i missed that one #411263. So, this bug is already known. Intentionally omitting the -n option and dealing with a pop-up window literally is a cosmetical issue. It is not logical, though. Probably, if there is no fix so far, you should consider to document this mismatch in the command line --help.

I also can confirm the exact same error message, which is mentioned here https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411263#c1 when running spectacle with -rbcn cli options:
kf5.kconfig.core: "\"cropRegion\" - conversion of \"0,0,0,0\" to QRect failed"

best regards
Johannes

Fixed re-confirmed with Spectacle built from master (so the fix is in Spectacle 21.08 or even earlier)
