Flameshot v14.0 RC1 Release Notes

We are excited to start the beta for Flameshot version 14. This release brings major improvements to multi-monitor support, fractionl scaling support, new capture workflows, and a long list of bug fixes across all platforms.

New Features

Unified Approach to Multi-Monitor / Scaling

The largest change in this version is when a screenshot is taken, the user will be prompted to select which monitor to capture. Previously on Linux and Windows the capture widget was drawn across all monitors. This presents significant challenges as we diversify the DE's that are supported in linux and mixed scaling becomes more common. After a lot of testing and iteration I decided the best path forward is this solution.

I understand this is a change in workflow, and some may find it cumbersome. However, this will be the path forward for the time being. Please read the following sections as well if you are on X11 or Windows.

Additionally, on Linux the primary way to take a screenshot is using the xdg-desktop-portal calls. This is the only way to screenshot on Wayland, and many X11 DE's also support this. I reccomend looking at this Arch Wiki page to see if your DE supports it. If not there is a "deprecated" option that can be enabled that will fall back to the legacy method for capturing. (See below)

Legacy X11 Screenshot Fallback

For users on minimal window managers (i3, xmonad, etc.) without xdg-desktop-portal, there is now a Settings → General → "Use legacy X11 screenshot method" option that bypasses the portal. This is marked as deprecated but ensures Flameshot works in more environments.

Tray Menu to select screen

If you typically launch flameshot from the tray menu, there is a new dropdown that will directly let you select which monitor to capture and bypass the monitor selection widget.

Capture Active Monitor (X11 & Windows)

When this is enabled Flameshot will skip the monitor selection dialog entirely and will automatically capture whichever monitor your cursor is on. Enable it in Settings → General → "Capture active monitor (skip monitor selection)".

⚠️ Not available on Wayland due to security model limitations.

Windows Global Screenshot Shortcut

Flameshot on Windows now supports a global "take screenshot" hotkey, meaning that you can now take screenshots with keybindings other than PrntScn. It can also detect if Windows has reserved PrtScn for Snipping Tool and offers to change that registry setting, or register Flameshot as the system's screen capture application.

[TBD Add image / directions]

D-Bus Capture Method (Linux)

A new captureScreen() D-Bus method lets scripts and external applications trigger Flameshot's GUI capture programmatically, making automation and integration even more easier on Linux.

Portable Binary Mode (Windows)

Flameshot can now store its configuration in a flameshot.ini file alongside the executable instead of the user config directory. This enables portable/USB-stick deployment. Controlled by the USE_PORTABLE_CONFIG CMake flag (on by default for Windows).

Screen Subcommand Redesign

The flameshot screen CLI subcommand has been reworked to support a per-screen capture paradigm. A new --edit/-e flag enables the user to specify which screen to capture. Users can use this to bind custom hotkeys to screenshot specific monitors to bypass the monitor selection widget.

Nix Flake Support

A comprehensive flake.nix is now included for reproducible builds and development on NixOS. Use nix build, nix run, or nix develop out of the box.

Improvements

Launcher UI Made More Compact

The launcher dialog is now significantly smaller: monitor selection is hidden on single-screen setups, layout margins are tighter, and the window auto-fits its content.

Update Checker Rework

The update notification system has been overhauled. The menu now shows "Download version X.Y.Z" when an update is available. Manual checks display "You have the latest version" when up to date, and the UI updates smoothly without requiring a menu close/reopen.

New macOS Icon Set

The application icon on macOS has been replaced with a higher-quality, multi-resolution icon set.

Removed Startup Delay

The 500ms arbitrary delay on the desktop entry's "Take Screenshot" action has been removed. This was exclusively affecting some Linux users and was initially meant for older version of Unity DE.

Bug Fixes

Wayland

• QPainter crashes on KDE Plasma Wayland (Qt 6): Added safety checks across 9 widget files to prevent "Paint device returned engine == 0" crashes when the backing store isn't ready.

• Clipboard runtime detection: A single binary now works on both Wayland and X11 — the clipboard backend is selected at runtime instead of compile time.

• GNOME clipboard copy failure: Worked around GNOME's requirement for a visible window during clipboard operations. The capture window now stays briefly alive until the compositor fetches the data. (Fixes #4116, #4298)

Cosmic Desktop

• Fixed capture window not going fullscreen on Cosmic DE.

X11 / GNOME

• Fixed crash caused by Qt::BypassWindowManagerHint on X11 GNOME.

Windows

• Forced PNG clipboard format on Windows — the JPG option caused compatibility issues and is now disabled.

macOS

• Fixed copy-to-clipboard not working when invoked from the terminal.

Cross-Platform

• D-Bus hang fix: Flameshot no longer hangs on systems without a org.freedesktop.Notifications service registered. (Fixes #4353)

• D-Bus race condition: Fixed a race condition where a temporary QApplication could corrupt Wayland connections, causing subsequent portal calls to hang.

• Double right-click segfault: Fixed a crash caused by double right-clicking in the capture window.

• Last region on scaled displays: Saved region coordinates now correctly account for the device pixel ratio on HiDPI screens.

• Layout warning fix: Removed a duplicate layout parent assignment that printed a Qt warning on every capture.

Packaging & Infrastructure

• Dropped support for Ubuntu Focal; bumped minimum dependency versions.
• Added Windows installation instructions for Scoop.
• Added instructions for setting the screenshot hotkey on GNOME when installed via Flatpak.
• Updated Flathub badge and GCC version requirement.

Translations

• 19 translation updates via Weblate, including improvements to Spanish, Finnish, and many other languages.

Special thanks to @ElTh0r0 for their contributions, especially regarding the Windows issues.

Full Changelog: v13.0.1...v13.1.0

This is a very minor release to fix some packaging issues with v13.0.0. Please excuse our dust while we re learn how to properly bundle the release :-)

This now includes a signed portable windows version and an Intel MacOS version. All files are uncompressed from .zip to play nicely with existing scripts.

I know the Qt6 transition has fixed some bugs, but also introduced lots of new bugs. We will start work on v14 to overhaul the capture widget to work better with Qt6 once we iron on any more issues related to the release process.

• @a-b made their first contribution in #4115

Full Changelog: v13.0.0...v13.0.1

Version 13.0.0

This is the beta for the version 13.0 release and our first release after porting to Qt6. Thanks for all the porting help @ElTh0r0. I also want to give a special shout out to @mmahmoudian for managing the project for 3 years with limited developers to help.

There are still some "paper cut" type bugs in addition to the larger ones listed in the section below. But we feel there are enough large bug fixes to warrant a release while we work to fix the other issues.

Please spend time testing this release and reporting new bugs. It would be especially helpful to open a random existing bug and update it if its still a problem in v13 beta.

Known issues / workarounds

• Mixed monitor setups continue to be an issue. We have an idea for a large rework to address this in version 14.

• Confined apps (flatpak / snap) on Ubuntu gnome does not properly interact with the permission dialogs. To work around this run this command shell to manually grant permission:

flatpak permission-set screenshot screenshot org.flameshot.Flameshot yes

Breaking Changes

• Snap packages are likely to be dropped for version 13 unless someone can help with the confinement issue discussed here: #4016
• The imgur uploader is disabled by default at compile time. Users that wish to re-enable this can build from source with -DENABLE_IMGUR. We expect this to be a bit controversial but we believe this is the best direction for the project. [ℹ️]
  • The goal for Flameshot is to be a lightweight screenshot / annotation program. The imgur uploader is a program in its own right
  • The authors of Flameshot are increasingly privacy conscious. Having a misclick in a screenshot program accidentally upload sensitive data feels very risky.
  • We continue to discuss and iterate ideas for a plugin system [ℹ️]. When that is completed users who wish to have an uploader right in their screenshot program can implement this in a plugin
  • We will keep the imgur uploader code in the code base until plugins are ready
  • Please let us know your thoughts either way. This is not a vote, but we are interested in the communities opinion.
• Flameshot returns exit code 1 if taking screenshot is canceled (e.g., by pressing Esc). This is to make Flameshot easier to integrate into shell scripts. [ℹ️]
• Configuration window tabs were re-ordered according to their importance to users. [ℹ️]

New Features

• Flatpak is now verified in Flathub. [ℹ️]
• Package maintainers can compile out the update checker using -DDISABLE_UPDATE_CHECKER.
• The pixelation feature has been replaced with a new "secure" implementation that only uses pixels outside of the area to be redacted.

• Screenshot dimensions are now interactively shown in the capture widget. [ℹ️]

• Pinned images can now be rotated. [ℹ️]
• A grim based screenshot adapter has been added to work with more wlroots Wayland compositors. Users can enable this in settings. [ℹ️]
• Users can symmetrically resize (holding Shift) and preserve aspect ratio (using Ctrl) while resizing.
• Pinned images can have a transparency effect applied. [ℹ️]
• A grid can be optionally enabled via the sidebar, and users can have their annotations snap to grid. [ℹ️]
• MacOS releases are now natively aarch64 and will not need to run in Rosetta.
• SingleApplication dependency has moved to KdSingleApplication to work around a Qt SharedMemory bug.
• New dateformat of %d-%m-%Y has been added. [ℹ️]
• New option to prompt user before exiting has been added to config. [ℹ️]

• Enable saving HEIF/HEIC when supported by 3rd party plug-ins. [ℹ️]
• Kde-connect share integration. (needs more testing) [ℹ️]
• Add Shortcut to Cancel current selection using CtrlBackspace [ℹ️]
• Pinned images now have window titled flameshot-pin. [ℹ️]
• Separate tool size for the tools. [ℹ️]
• A new configuration option so that arrows can be drawn in a reversed way (tip
  to tail). [ℹ️]
• In Wayland fractional scaling situation, screenshot preview size was wrong. [ℹ️]
• Commandline implementation for Windows [ℹ️]
