Description Ganton 2016-05-24 21:06:29 UTC
Dear Sirs:

Thanks. Spectacle doesn't work like other KDE programs, which lead to inconsistencies and bad reviews. Advanced users could be able to modify settings, but default Spectacle settings could work like other KDE programs.
        
The default settings that Spectacle has worsens reviews:
"To capture this moment, I used Spectacle, the new KDE tool for screenshots, and boy is it bad. It is configured by default to grab the mouse cursor but not the window decorations [window titlebar, borders], and you must drop-down the save button to get to the Save As option. Also, it does not prompt on file overwrites. Purely pointless, as they say. Why. How about some consistency, chaps? "
"[...] PAM! Spectacle would not remember the last save location".

‎Nonetheless, Spectacle has good work in it, keep up the good work! Thanks!

Reproducible: Always

Thank you for your feedback, some of your raised issues were already fixed before in 16.04:
Remember save location: bug 357817
File overwrite confirmation: bug 357818

Note that the Save / Save As choice is remembered once you change the selection, so if you change this option once you won't have to redo it.

A brief survey (n=2 :p) showed that people indeed seem to expect the window decoration to be present by default. (This has technical implications, but this should not influence the expected user behavior.)

It looks like that it's solved nowadays, great! :-)
