Bug ID: 458959
Summary: Screenshot annotation creates 3 files
Product: Spectacle
Version: 22.08.1
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: m...@baloneygeek.com
Reporter: gudvinr+...@gmail.com
CC: k...@david-redondo.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When you annotate screenshot, spectacle creates 2 screenshot duplicates and
when you save annotated file it also saves screenshot with applied annotations.
I can't say for all people but when I want to annotate screenshot, I never need
to save original copy.
But when I don't want to annotate I just want this file to be saved without
opening spectacle main window.
I have option to take screenshot on spectacle open disabled. And options to put
screenshot into clipboard and save on disk enabled.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create screenshot
2. Use "Annotate" button (from notification, didn't test other cases)
3. Draw something
4. Finish annotation
5. Save annotated file
OBSERVED RESULT
After step 1 spectacle saves screenshot.
After step 2 spectacle saves same screenshot to another file with new
timestamp.
After step 5 spectacle saves annotated screenshot to another file with suffix
"-1" added to filename.
EXPECTED RESULT
After step 5 spectacle modifies original file saved in step 1. In that case
people who want to also have original file can use "Save As" instead, as it is
done in most applications.
Or just save annotated file when you press "annotation done" and close window
since I didn't open it in first place and issued annotation from notifications.
In that case there could be some kind of setting that controls save behaviour
(whether it overwrites file or creates new one).
