Ask HN: Is there anything comparable to ShareX for Linux?
As the title says, is there anything comparable to ShareX for Linux?
With screenshot + video recording, uploading, "quick editor" and hotkeys?
I know of Fireshot, etc. but they all kind of suck as far as I've seen...
- SuperNinKenDo 4y agoHa, I've also been wondering this for a while. Would love an answer, unfortunately threads like this often go ignored here, but we'll see.
- KomoD 4y agoYeah, I've been looking for quite a while, looked at tons, couldn't find anything decent, only flameshot + bash scripts :/
- jonas-w 4y agoSorry I also don't know anything else better than flameshot, but what is your problem with it, what do you miss?
- KomoD 4y agoMainly automatically uploading and copying the link to my clipboard. At the moment I'm on Windows and use ShareX along with my own image hosting service. It just does one HTTP request for me that uploads the image, returns the link and copies to my clipboard. The only way I've found to do uploading with Flameshot is with some script? Flameshot also seems to handle higher resolutions poorly.
- anotheryou 4y agoI also only know fireshot which is not that good :/
- AndyKluger 4y agoI don't know what you're missing, but if this is basically a screenshot tool, each of flameshot and spectacle are very good, and in the near future spectacle will also do video recording, I think.
- deafpolygon 4y agoYou'll have to roll your own with a script, which can do this very easily. Bind it to a hotkey. If you're on Wayland, grim+slurp can be used to automate something like this in conjunction with a python (or js/bash) script that does the uploading if the image hosting service has an API. Copy this URL into your clipboard as the final act (and fire off a call to notify-send, for notifications, if you want).
