Wshot

Simple Qt screenshot GUI for wayland.

Depends

• grim
• slurp
• zenity / qarma
• wl-clipboard

Optional

• cmake (to build/update translations and install the application)
• git (to pull latest VCS checkouts)
• wf-info (to select window under wayfire)
• jq (to select window under sway)

Build / Install

CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX has to be set to /usr on most operating systems.
Using sudo make install is discouraged, use the system package manager instead where possible.

cmake -B build -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -W no-dev
cmake --build build --verbose
DESTDIR="$(pwd)/package" cmake --install build

Usage

By default screenshots are saved to ~/tmp/screenshot_*, edit FILEDIR= in wshot to change.

If no custom filename is set it defaults to screenshot_$(date +%F_%H.%M.%S) e.g. screenshot_2023-08-07_11.37.18.

Note: "Selected window" mode is working only in sway and wayfire at the moment.

Not tested using zenity instead of qarma.
