Description David Rankin 2009-06-28 05:02:26 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.90)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

ksnapshot in kde4 is unable to capture a screenshot of the compiz-fusion "Expo" plugin feature. For some reason kde4 ksnapshot breaks the activation of the Expo feature. I think that silly little feature that paints the count-down on the screen saying "Snapshot will be taken in _ seconds" has something to do with it.

Using alt+F2 /opt/kde3/bin/ksnapshot, the kde3 ksnapshot handles the screenshot just fine:

This is a broken feature in kde4 ksnapshot. Thankfully I still have kde3 installed or I would not have the capability to take these type of screenshots anymore.

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years and I will be closing this bug. Spectacle is the replacement for ksnapshot now. Please test again and file a new bug for Spectacle if you still have issues. Thank you!
