Let Spectacle add simple elements like Arrows, Text and Highlighting to created screenshots. One option would be to add edition options into spectacle. The other option could be creating a separate application or extending KolourPaint to let drawing pretty arrows. Currently the closest way of achieving something like this in KDE eco is to open screenshot in KolourPaint and try to draw arrow using lines which becomes quite ugly in result.

This feature would be most welcome, as competing products all seem to be moving this direction. See: 1) http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/01/flameshot-linux-screenshot-tool-annotation 2) https://theshots.ru/

(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #4) > Another one: https://github.com/DamirPorobic/ksnip Yupp. One issue brought up on KDE-Devel IRC was that Spectacle supports X and Wayland, with KSnip apparently only supporting X at this time (I have not verified this). Otherwise, KSnip is pretty darn nice. "[14:25] <ltosky[m]> ronnoc: but afaik that program is X11 only (while spectacle supports Wayland)"
Another option - Flameshot: https://github.com/lupoDharkael/flameshot Page is telling: "Experimental Gnome Wayland and Plasma Wayland support."
Simple annotating tool will be useful. Now I have to open the image in gimp a do changes there.
+1 for annotation right in spectacle. This is currently the only reason I don't use it.
This is being discussed in https://phabricator.kde.org/T6321
Nicolas Fella has submitted a patch to add this feature! https://phabricator.kde.org/D22074

Created attachment 131368 [details] ksnip Maybe application what I would like to mention didn't exists yet, that's why Wiktor requested below function. I would like to mention there is very nice application making screens shots just cutting out part of screen with some kind of viewfinder. Please take a look at screen attached. And of course allows making annotation and highlighting part of screen by pen. Application is similar to this one met on Windows calling "Snipping tool". This one I wanted to present is ksnip. I built it using package coming from AUR repository. I use Arch based Linux distribution. Application depends on following: kimageannotator and kcolorpicker.
Yes this feature uses that exact same annotation widget from KSnip. :)
Hi, is there a way that it also saves the annotation settings so I don't have to change them every time I do another screenshot?
