Bug ID: 387755
Summary: Add a delay to org.kde.kwin.Screenshot - "interactive"
method
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-various
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: je...@zemarmot.net
Target Milestone: ---
A common feature in screenshot applications is to add a delay. A very common
usage I have of it is for instance when I need to shoot an intermediary state
of a window. For instance, when I want to shoot a menu contents: I would set a
2 sec delay, then quickly open the menu and wait for the screenshot.
For fullscreen screenshots, it can be added programmatically before the dbus
call, and for "screenshotArea" as well when a "selectArea" will be implemented
(cf. bug 387721) in between the 2 dbus calls.
But "interactive" manages everything from window selection to snapshot. So this
would need to be added as a parameter to the dbus method (uint parameter for
delay in second maybe?).
Moreover doing so, it may be interesting to add a OSD effect to display a
countdown before the screenshot (this countdown effect could of course be
optional with another argument, boolean, to the method "interactive").
