SUMMARY Spectacle: "Quit after saving or copying" option doesn't work with automatic post-capture actions STEPS TO REPRODUCE - Open Spectacle. - Under the "After taking a screenshot" section, enable an automatic action, for example, "Automatically save the image to the default save location". - Enable the "Quit after saving or copying" checkbox. - Take any screenshot. OBSERVED RESULT The screenshot is successfully saved to the disk, and a notification appears confirming the action. However, the main Spectacle window remains open and does not close automatically. EXPECTED RESULT The Spectacle window should close automatically after the screenshot has been saved, since the "Quit after saving or copying" option is enabled. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 42 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition), kernel: 6.15.6 (Wayland) KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.16.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This behavior seems to be specific to the automatic post-capture actions. The "Quit after saving or copying" feature works as expected when performing a manual action. For example, if I take a screenshot and then manually click the "Save" or "Copy" button, the Spectacle window closes correctly. The issue only arises when the save/copy action is triggered automatically by the "After taking a screenshot" settings.
I think this works as it's expected. The option you enabled is "Quit after MANUAL saving or copying", and in the setting under the "After taking a screenshot" section is probably considered as AUTOMATIC because it is. That's why it doesn't close the window. Lets keep this open for the Spectacle maintainer to confirm this or maybe add that feature.
It doesn't say > Quit after saving or copying It says > Quit after *manual* save or copy Automatic actions are not manual, so the option is doing what it says it will do (i.e. nothing)
