| inetpro | good mornings | 07:23 |
|---|---|---|
| inetpro | NOTE: before you upgrade to Firefox v57 (Quantum), make sure your crucial addons are covered | 07:27 |
| * inetpro just noticed that FireFTP is "Not compatible with Firefox Quantum" | 07:27 | |
| inetpro | not that I use it so much but it has come in useful from time to time | 07:28 |
| inetpro | fortunately there are many alternative FTP clients | 07:29 |
| MaNI | more things like flashblock etc. that are essential I think | 07:36 |
| MaNI | there are quite a lot of those that are still 'legacy' | 07:37 |
| MaNI | why are firefox pushing screenshots so hard, do they realise that all operating systems have perfectly capable built in screenshot abilities? | 07:42 |
| MaNI | I'm not even sure I want my web browser to be capable of doing screenshots, it seems like just another privacy nightmare | 07:43 |
| inetpro | yep, good point | 07:47 |
| inetpro | good points as well | 07:49 |
| poppingtonic | hi | 07:51 |
| poppingtonic | in-browser screenshots are probably more useful for developers right now. Is there some kind of underserved screenshot-meme subculture or something? | 07:52 |
| MaNI | I'm guessing it is meant to serve some perceived "end user support for users who can't figure out how to upload screenshots" demand or something, but yeah I find it a bit odd | 07:58 |
| MaNI | hrm tab mix plus is "legacy" thats going to be an issue for me | 07:58 |
| poppingtonic | is anyone here intrigued by rust, now that Quantum is **2X Faster**? | 08:00 |
| poppingtonic | rustaceans, rise! | 08:00 |
| MaNI | haha | 08:01 |
| inetpro | at least the RSS feed subscribe button is back again, not sure whether it's been hiding there behind the toolbar customise option for some time though | 09:51 |
| chesedo | morning all | 11:15 |
| chesedo | MaNI: in-browser screenshots will catch the whole page - when one has to scroll - whereas the OS screenshot will catch the window, its decorations and everything in the current scroll area | 11:17 |
| chesedo | poppingtonic: I have started looking into rust a few months ago... it seems like a merge between C++ and go for me so far | 11:19 |
| inetpro | oh yes, chesedo is right, in-browser screenshots will catch the whole page | 11:44 |
| inetpro | on the rare occasions when I needed that I had awesome screenshot plus installed as a addon | 11:45 |
| chesedo | but for the rest I have to agree with MaNI - ie why would normal user use it? | 11:46 |
| chesedo | we were looking for places to hire a car last week and someone at my mom's work decided to help by sending my mom a screenshot of her google search results | 11:48 |
| inetpro | interestingly, awesome screenshot is still working on v57, but I guess I can just uninstall it now | 11:48 |
| MaNI | I was going to say that spectacle can take snapshots of only the content part of the browser as well, but it can't I guess because these days everything is owner drawn and nobody does stuff proper native anymore | 11:49 |
| MaNI | either that or I'm going senile - I swear I used to be able to snapshot only parts of any X11 app | 11:50 |
| chesedo | shutter still can last i checked | 11:50 |
| chesedo | although maybe wayland has changed things | 11:51 |
| MaNI | 'progress' haha | 11:51 |
| chesedo | lol | 11:51 |
| * inetpro most often don't need more than what is offered with KSnapshot | 11:52 | |
| MaNI | well theres rectangular selection area when all else fails, thats usually enough, but I don't really spend much of my life taking screenshots | 11:54 |
| superfly | inetpro: KSnapshot is old. Spectacle is the new. | 15:49 |
| superfly | MaNI: Last time I used Spectacle (which was about 2 days ago) I could take a shot of a rectangular region of the screen. | 15:50 |
| inetpro | sudo apt install kde-spectacle | 15:51 |
| inetpro | superfly: thanks | 15:52 |
| inetpro | so how do I make it launch on the press of the PrntScr key in stead of KSnapshot? | 15:52 |
| MaNI | superfly, yeah still can | 16:09 |
| superfly | inetpro: remove ksnapshot? | 16:10 |
| superfly | inetpro: or go into system settings, shortcuts, and change there | 16:10 |
| MaNI | but it used to be possible with ksnapshot (unless my memory is completely failing me) to screenshot 'parts' of a window, like it would show a red rectangle around specific parts as you moved the mouse and could snapshot it | 16:10 |
| superfly | MaNI: I don't recall that, to be honest | 16:11 |
| MaNI | not entirely sure when that fell away, but I guess it's a victim of all the owner drawing and compositing and whatnot | 16:11 |
| inetpro | superfly: nope, it was not necessary to remove ksnapshot | 16:12 |
| MaNI | I'm fairly certain it was a thing, but don't really care enough to go look for it, anyway | 16:12 |
| inetpro | just had to logout and login to see "Start Screenshot Tool" in the KDE Daemon component of global shortcuts | 16:13 |
| MaNI | spectacle is pretty nice and does pretty much anything I would personally actually need on a day to day basis | 16:13 |
| superfly | I agree | 16:14 |
