With the old tool, pressing the print screen multiple times opened a new instance of the app (IIRC)... This does not work with spectacle... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Press PrintScreen 2. Spectacle opens with the screenshot 3. Press PrintScreen again Actual Results: No effect. Expected Results: A new instance of Spectacle should be opened. Otherwise, discard the previous screenshot and fetch a new one... This may cause the user to lose its screenshot...
The intended behaviour is to discard the previous shot and take a new one. This will be fixed.
This seems to be a KHotkeys issue. Triggering the DBus method manually does update the screenshot in the app.
>Expected Results: >A new instance of Spectacle should be opened. What is the benefit of new instances of Spectacle on multiple PrtSc clicks? I would hope multiple PrtSc clicks should only bring them to foreground. Having 7 instances of Spectacle on a single screen doesn't make sense. Multiple instances of Spectacle should be triggered when opened from app menu. PrtSc should bring existing one to the foreground.

PrtSc should bring existing one to the foreground. For example, if you want to take 3 screenshots in 6 seconds you press the button 3 times and then review / save the screenshots separately...

This behaviour is intended. (In reply to tesfabpel from comment #4) > For example, if you want to take 3 screenshots in 6 seconds you press the > button 3 times and then review / save the screenshots separately... You're now able to take screenshots without bringing up the GUI which are auto-saved, using the default hotkeys. These may be reviewed and discarded at your leisure.
