Draft: new screenshot UI
The new screenshot UI™, which I worked on and posted about over the summer as part of GSoC 2021. Based on this design issue and mock-up.
Requires mutter!1893 (merged) with an additional fix, mutter!1899 (merged) and mutter!1967 (merged). I've got everything needed in this Mutter branch, although there's usually also some unrelated stuff there.
TODO:
- Saving screenshots into a file (rather than just clipboard)
- Asynchronous PNG compression
-
Screencast functionality
- Area and screen recording
- Window selection and recording
- Design review
- Figuring out how to handle GNOME Shell popups
- Getting the panel out of the way of the area selection
- Keyboard accessibility
-
Removing default PrtSc bind from
gnome-settings-daemonand adding it here - Wider testing and bugfixing
Not required but would be nice to have:
- Use lower scale for area and screen shots when possible on mixed DPI
