Bug ID: 498716
Summary: [Feature Enhancement] Expose --edit-existing "Open and
edit existing screenshot file" option in GUI
Classification: Applications
Product: Spectacle
Version: 24.12.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: noaha...@gmail.com
Reporter: darrylkac...@gmail.com
CC: k...@david-redondo.de
Target Milestone: ---
Spectacle's built-in image annotation feature that allows the user to add
arrows, shapes, text, etc to a screenshot is a wonderful feature. Other KDE
applications like Gwenview don't have such simple to use tools for use on
existing images. Other apps like Krita that might let you do this kind of
thing have a much steeper learning curve than Spectacle.
However, hidden away in Spectacle's command line options is "--edit-existing"
that allows a user to "Open and edit existing screenshot file". This is an
amazing feature, but almost nobody knows about it because it is only mentioned
in the man page and not exposed in the GUI.
This feature request is to expose an Import / Drag & Drop capability in
Spectacle's GUI to let users annotate existing images with the tools Spectacle
already provides. This should be relatively straightforward to implement given
that most of the capability is already there behind a command line option. In
my opinion it would be super useful and fill a bit of a void in KDE's current
suite of applications: easy to use image annotation on existing files.
