--- Comment #1 from Boudhayan Gupta <m...@baloneygeek.com> ---
Note that ksnapshot has been deprecated for almost an year now. It is no longer
developed, and has been replaced by Spectacle in KDE Applications 15.12.

That said, Spectacle still doesn't have Wayland support.

When Spectacle was first conceived, it was re-architected specifically to make
adding Wayland platform support possible.

As of now, a generalised Wayland platform API to take screenshots does not
exist. gnome-screenshot taps into a DBus API that is provided by Gnome-Shell to
take screenshots on Gnome/Wayland. weston-screenshot similarly uses a
Weston-specific API.

Martin is at a stage with kwin/wayland development that we're ready to add
non-essential things to it, such as a screenshot API. We're going to be working
on this in the near future, probably at hackathons in Akademy in September. I
plan on this being available in Spectacle for the December 2016 release of
Applications.
