Created attachment 56424 [details] bug appearance example Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.5) OS: unspecified When I press PrtSc, ksnapshot makes screenshot. But this screenshot often include unwanted things: 1) Jumping icon of ksnapshot. 2) Animation of removing ksnapshot from taskbar (if plasma theme have animation in taskbar). You can see it on attached screenshot. Possible workaround: don't show jumping icon for ksnapshot and don't add it to taskbar. Reproducible: Sometimes It
Since at least KDE 4.6 candidates this problem is fixed for me. Are there other experiences? My current system is Kubuntu 10.10 with KDE 4.6 RC2
Ohh sorry, I misread the bug description, as I had some (tiny) trouble with pre 4.6 versions: sometimes ksnapshot-window relicts were captured together with the screenshot. This bug read similar to me in the first moment.

Not only busy icon, but also animation in taskbar. Look at bottom of attached image,
It is not duplicate. Changing bug status back.

This bug is present in KDE 4.5.95
Created attachment 62113 [details] bug in KDE 4.6.5
The problem is fixed by changing X-KDE-StartupNotify from true to false in /usr/share/applications/kde4/ksnapshot.desktop This skips launch feedback when starting ksnapshot.
This bug I guess should be two: - the startup feedback should probably be disabled by default, so it won't get included in screenshots - it seems that ksnapshot starts preparing its window before capturing the screenshot, and so the capture happens in the middle of the process, resulting in what seems a capture of a bug (which unfortunately looks very bad, when the point is "here's KDE, it looks great") Neither of which is fixed with ksnapshot 0.8.2 on KDE 4.8.0

Nice, thanks for the backport!
Only 3 months after a solution was published - what a speed! :)
(In reply to comment #14) > Only 3 months after a solution was published - what a speed! :) To be fair, the commit you saw was a backport -- the fix was already present on the development branch. Also, saying "what took you so long" instead of "thank you" to someone who does this in their spare time is not very nice or motivating.
I've spent a time to find out how to fix that and posted a solution here. And I see no reason for saing thanks to someone else for just promoting the fix after a long time (for a highly voted bug).

whoops...fixed
But is this really fixed? This bug report includes two issues: "jumping icon" and "capturing ksnapshot window animation in plasma". As far as I can tell, only one of those is currently solved?

For clarification: 'jumping icon' is fixed now? btw I can't reproduce one of those.
Jumping icon is fixed now, yes. I have KDE 4.8.2 on kubuntu and my ksnapshot.desktop correctly includes X-KDE-StartupNotify=false
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!
