By any chance does it work if you use the app in English by running `LANGUAGE=en_US spectacle` in a terminal window?
I cannot reproduce this in the current supported version.
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > By any chance does it work if you use the app in English by running > `LANGUAGE=en_US spectacle` in a terminal window? I tried it, but it seems that the settings are completely ignored. I set 10 seconds and as soon i click of one of the options (screen, window, rectangle/etc) it creates instantly a screenshot.
Thanks for checking. Can you set up a new user account and try it there? Is it broken in that new user account too, or does it work there?

I just hit the same issue after upgrading from KDE5 to KDE6 I got it working by deleting the following files: * ~/.cache/spectacle * ~/.config/spectaclerc * ~/.config/kde.org/spectacle.conf Restoring the config files after did not replicate the issue, but I was able to reproduce it after restoring the files by running ``` /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/kf6/kconf_update --debug /usr/share/kconf_update/spectacle.upd ``` So I guess something went wrong during the update. Anyway, just deleting these files fixed the issue for me.
