SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***

I just upgraded to Debian v9, Stretch to Debian v11, Bullseye.  
This is a quick note to express how delighted I am with the new features available with spectacle!

I find particularly useful the fact that a subsequent screenshot in the same session now remembers the boundaries of the 'Rectangular Region' which was the subject of the previous screenshot.  This makes it so much easier to capture pages from a slide deck during a presentation!

Also useful is the new UI showing me the name and a button to 'Open Containing Floder' for the most recently saved screenshot.  

So far, the only feature I had grown accustomed to in the legacy version which seems to be missing in the new version is the ability to navigate with the keyboard and to select an image name to use as template I can conveniently edit and use to save a new screenshot.  This requires that I have to interact with the mouse to complete this task.  But that is a very small price to pay for not having to use the mouse to draw the region boundaries for every screenshot.  

Excellent work, folks!  Thank you for these enhancements!

Well this is a nice departure from the normal kind of bug report we get! I'm so happy you're happy!

The template lives in the settings window and I can get there via the keyboard. Can you describe in detail what exactly the problem is, and what changed compared the the previous version you were using?
Comment 2 Hugh Esco 2022-05-22 23:22:34 UTC 
That would be a never mind.  With some additional time spent with the
upgraded version of this tool, I find it really does allow me to manage
its use without having to interact with a mouse !!!  Alhamdulillah!
