Are you guys for real? Is it actually gone, or am I blind? Why would you remove one of the most crucial tools from it?!

Comment 3 Störm Poorun 2023-08-02 15:50:39 UTC

Just to make the clear case: ability to easily crop is a fundamental for most screenshot users, so this is a fairly significant regression.

Comment 4 Daniel 2023-08-03 00:00:47 UTC

Confirmed on Manjaro as well, was on version 23.04.3. I reverted back to 22.12.3 and the crop function is back. I then added it to IgnorePkg and won't update it until this is back, as it is a pretty crucial feature.

Comment 5 maelstrom256+bugs.kde.com 2023-08-10 08:46:38 UTC

Agreed, it was topmost used feature. Video recording is less usefull than it.
Repeating call for spectacle with area scrinshotin is not the same, it closes context menus and other, popups and blindly waste of time.

Comment 7 Alexander Trufanov 2023-10-31 15:08:13 UTC

Kubuntu 23.10. No crop feature anymore.
Workaround is downgrade:

cd /tmp
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/k/kde-spectacle/kde-spectacle_22.12.3-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i kde-spectacle_22.12.3-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-mark hold kde-spectacle

Comment 8 sausagefactory0 2023-11-12 21:48:34 UTC

On Fedora, crop is also missing. And it's a key feature for a screenshot tool.

Comment 9 Alex Sh 2023-12-07 10:02:33 UTC

We still need it!

Comment 11 Sebastian Turzański 2024-03-18 09:52:04 UTC

it is still valid for plasma 6.0.2

Add crop tool

You can now crop from the image viewer's annotations UI by clicking on the Crop tool button. The UI is like the rectangle capture UI.
