Status
------

This change has been discarded.


Review request for kwin and Martin Gräßlin.


Bugs: 279615
    http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=279615


Repository: kde-workspace


Description
-------

Hotfix, intercepts closing ksnapshot dialog, then activates itself and suppresses the \
dialog as good as possible until the dialog is deleted.

Drawback is obvious:
The dialog _always_ disappears instantly, whether for a screenshot trigger or not.
Also it will no longer be possible to capture the disappearing ksnapshot window.

NOTICE: that this does not help if you're running ksnapshot w/o the screenshot effect \
(it will xwd whatever is there - just as if you're using any other compositor)

Personal note: I consider the "bug" a complete ebkac.

You capture a screen region at a certain time.
If the appearance of the screen region doesn't fit your expectations at that time, \
you got to wait for a better time. Any random delay to deal with what kwin, compiz, \
compton, xcompmgr, metacity, e17 ... might visually do with the screen on any event \
*cannot* work.

In the long run, ksnapshot might offer an extra "All Windows" when the screenshot \
effect is available which draws the window stack (minus ksnapshot) at the actual \
positions and values (no transformations at all)


Diffs

  kwin/effects/screenshot/screenshot.cpp 8390716 

Diff: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/114146/diff/


Testing
-------

faded out 6s, tested w/ and w/o patch, ensured that "qdbus org.kde.kwin /Effects \
activeEffects" does usually not include the effect.


Thanks,

Thomas Lübking
