Well, as I said in the title, I have a problem in KDE with the wayland session, it happens that if I run flameshot there, first there is a kind of weird lag, I get a black screen for 1 second and then the normal flameshot comes out this is one of the problems, the other problem is that normally I save the captures that I make with flameshot in the clipboard, it happens that in the session of wayland worspace-plasma it saves a capture in /tmp/ something fucking weird, and finally I cancel la capture save the screenshot at the address above
None of these problems happen to me in the x11 session, if anyone knows how to fix it please tell me, wayland feels a bit better for normal use and xorg is somewhat insecure nowadays.

hm, according to github_flameshot, the support is still experimental for Gnome Wayland and Plasma Wayland.
On Gnome, you would also need to install plugin appindicator-support to see the system tray icon.
I tried it on wayland and it worked without it so i was just wondering. I installed that package now and i really don’t see much of an issue on my system. It works well i only notice it opens a little bit slower if i right click the flameshot icon and take a screenshot. But it’s not laggy it’s just a slight bit slower to open.
Yes i tried it on Wayland in KDE and i didn’t have that other package installed and it still worked. I really didn’t notice any lag. Maybe a slightly bit slower opening of flameshot but i did install the package and it made no difference either. On my hardware it’s not really a problem. I don’t see much of a lag. It’s noticeable when comparing the two but not significant enough to bother me.
It flat out won’t work at all in gnome if you do some Googling. It has something to do with security in gnome settings. I had to add I to my dock and accept the share before I can use it at all.
