I am used to this behaviour from the LightScreen app. user@host ~/ $ gnome-screenshot --area --file=/home/user/Desktop/Screenshot_1.png --clipboard I guess the problem is with the following peace of code from gnome- screenshot-3.16.0/src/screenshot-application.c if (screenshot_config->copy_to_clipboard) { screenshot_save_to_clipboard (self); screenshot_play_sound_effect ("screen-capture", _("Screenshot taken")); g_application_release (G_APPLICATION (self)); return; } It obviously does a g_application_release and return before actually saving the image to file. Suggested fix is to move this code block after the block saving the image to make it work.
