> it has support for individual windows uh, where? From the documentation at https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/portal-docs.html#gdbus-org.freedesktop.portal.Screenshot https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/portal-docs.htm... the supported options are whether it should be interactive, and whether the dialog should be modal. There is no option to indicate what kind of screenshot you want (window, monitor, full screen, rectangle). You can hope that the compositor's implementation lets the user select what they want, but the compositor is free to take the screenshot however it wants, the wlroots xdg-desktop implementation for example, currently just always takes a screenshot of the whole screen. The API is oriented more toward's Gnomes approach of considering the screenshot dialog to be the responsibility of the compositor, and doesn't work well for sway's approach of considering the screenshot dialog to be the application's responsibility. The Screencast protocol at least allows you to specify if you want to capture a monitor or a window, although not all compositors support both (for example xdg-desktop-wlroots only supports the monitor type). Now hopefully in the not-too distant future most compositors will support it, atm, at least in my compositor of choice, it doesn't work yet. And in both cases the the xdg-desktop-portal API doesn't really work well with apps like Flameshot or Peek, where you determine what to capture by resizing the window of the app.
