Description Musikolo 2011-03-11 22:43:00 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

Unlike other utilities to get snapshots, I miss the ability to have some basic draw functions, such draw circles or squares to highlight an specific area in your snapshots. Imagine you want to share a snapshot of an app where a button is too small to fit its inner text, you could highlight it easily by drawing a red square surrounding the button. Other appealing basic draw functions would include the ability to draw arrows, lines, hand-free lines and even text labels.

Reproducible: Always


Actual Results:  
No changes can be perform on snapshots


- Current version. 0.8.1

Maybe clicking on the thumbnail could load the image in a default application.  If the default was set to kolourpaint initially then it would be relatively trivial to edit the picture.. instead of having to hunt for one in all of the "Send To" options.

Drawing primitives is very handy for testers, managers and users alike. This would make ksnapshot a really competitive tool (given it already has support for export through KIPI plugins).

I am currently working on a project called kreenshot-editor which will at least allow for drawing basic objects like rectangles, ellipses, lines, arrows. When it is ready kreenshot-editor could be integrated to ksnapshot via command line call or QWidget component. The current state of the project can be reviewed here: http://kreenshot.wordpress.com/

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!

The bug tracking annotation tools in Spectacle is Bug 372464. And good news: it's in progress! See https://phabricator.kde.org/T6321
