We definitely need some immediate visual feedback of the screen capture. I like the simple animation in the video as it's very fast and not very intrusive for the user. Adding shutter release sound that we use in Camera application would be a plus.
Maybe adding an item to the notification center as Cimi suggested might be quite nice idea for the future. At least there would be a direct link to the photo available conveniently. ** Description changed: Currently, the only way to take a screenshot is to attach the phone to a computer via USB and use phablet-screenshot. There should be a way to take a screenshot from the phone. Otherwise, it will be hard for people to share how great their phone is on social media, as well as other functions. -------------------------------------------- Proposed design: - For triggering: Volume Up + Volume Down + - For triggering: Volume Up + Volume Down + - For indicating the user: White layer opacity animation shown in attached video + shutter sound -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1369644 Title: [enhancement] Should be possible to take a screen shot on the phone from the phone itself To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1369644/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
