I don't think what you are asking for is possible. Spectacle uses KWin's screenshot API for reasons mentioned in Nate's first comment. KWin's screenshot API doesn't have permissions, it just checks if the requesting executable is in the same install prefix as KWin. Spectacle can't know anything about apps that are trying to start a new Spectacle process, so it cannot check their permissions. I don't think Spectacle can choose which systemd scope it is used in. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
