As i am using screenshoot and share imgur often, in the process of learning endea linux.
Issue1: Imgur not working
I randomly faced "share to > imgur " not working.
When i took the screenshot, share it to imgur works for the first time; if i take the 2nd screenshot to share to imgur again, it will no work.
This is what it happens:
when i
took screenshot > share button > imgur
instead of sharing to imgur, it just open the screenshot with gwenview.
The only thing i can do in gwenview is to save the screenshot as a file in my system.
Even in gwenview, i can only use âcopy to or move toâ to save my screenshot as a file on local folders. Inside the âshareâ button on gwenview, there is no âimgurâ option in it.
I tried many times with imgur not working, but now, when i try again, imgur works consequencely for 3 times⌠i canât explain nor know why⌠only can say randomly not working; when experienced not working, it will continue be not working with screenshot.
When i just installed Endea os, share screenshot to imgur is working good, but lately it never work. Whenever i share to imgur, it just opens out gwenview.
Any idea why ?
I donât even understand how imgur let me post my pic into their server in the first place, i didnât even sign in or set up endea for imgur. It just works out of the box! But now it failed to work constantly.
Is there somewhere on endea os lays the setting for imgur acc ?
Imagur is working fine for me you have to register to use it. I just dragged this photo to imagur waited for it to upload double clicked image on the next screen clicked copy on message boards then pasted on this box
I havenât been able to replicate that problem through multiple tries of hosting screenshots to imgur with the screenshot application on Xfce. Each time it goes through successfully. Sorry
I have an imgur acc. When i logged in using firefox, i can upload and whatever in it works.
How ever when i do screenshot using âprint screenâ it does not work.
OK, to make sure my question is valid , i tried both âprint whole screenâ and âprint rectangular areaâ 2 types.
The conclusion is : âprint whole screenâ able to share to imgur - no problem
However âprint rectangular areaâ failed to share to imgur everytime, at least the time I am trying it.
I have being having this problem for quite a few weeks i think⌠even before i posted the previous post regarding this issue. (i have no time , hence chuck it aside)
Please look into photos for detail.
Print ârectangular areaâ (failed):
select rectangular area to be print screened.
see i selected share to imgur.
Then it failed to upload to imgur, but it open gwenview (instead of showing me the url)
This is Print whole screen and share to imgur - working fineâŚ
See! with a successful uploading to imgur, it provides the link to the img.
I also tried to search for the location where i can let the os signed imgur (it is common sense to need to sign in to use the service, however in this case there is no sign in?! )
I donât know where to sign in in this Endea linux⌠there is an âonline accountsâ when i use Krunner to search for âaccountâ, however there is âNO accounts added yetâ inside it. Since i can share whole screenshot to imgur, surely to register or signin imgur is not nessacery, else both (print whole screen and print rectangular area) should not work altogether already.
According to @ogrefriend you do not need an account to post to imagur. That is why i asked someone who uses it as i donât. It works for me without an account. Also taking a screen print of a ârectangular areaâ also works for me and gives me a link for imagur the same as it does taking a screen print of the âwholeâ screen or âActiveâ area.
@ricklinux Can i ask you about Timeshift settings ? I donât really 100% understand how to set, being careful abt it.
Shld i create a new thread or just a chat and get it done with. ?
Just came from youtube, and some webpages⌠webpages are of no help.
Youtube did help some, but i still not 100% sure⌠hence need some help explaining . question are of : location, users and filters tab.
Iâm just not sure you understand how the program spectacle works to take a screen print and share to imagur?
Press print screen and it opens up spectacle. Change the setting to rectangular region.
Click on take a screenshot. The box opens up asking you to click and drag a rectangular area.
Double click the rectangular area you have just created. Click on export and share to imagur.
It creates the image link and copies it to the clipboard. You can then save it by clicking on save as which will open the spectacle save window which is in the folder you are saving it to and you can change the name of the file if you want.
Otherwise click on the drop down box and click save and it will keep the same name it assigned.Or you can just click save as and in the window at the bottom click save if you arenât changing the name. Doesnât matter.
As for using it with an account i donât see it should be any different.
Edit: Hope you understand this and it should put an end to this problem with imagur. If you want to ask about Timeshift please open a new thread with the topic about Timeshift. I am not that well versed with Timeshift but others are.
Pls take a look at the photo, it is uploaded to imgur automatically (and provide me the imgur link and copy that link to clipboard) when i clicked âexport>share>imgurâ
This above is called âworkingâ.
while the above - earlier post shows example that does not work . because it didnât manage to post to imgur.
I know exactly how spectacle works. There are 2 ways to make it works.:
1 method is just either run âspectacleâ itself or press âprint screenâ to call spectable and select ârectangular areaâ then the rest are the same as above mentioned.
2nd method is to use âglobal shortcutâ . Please notice, my global shortcut for rectangular area screenshot is âmeta+shift+Print screenâ . I have being using this shortcut button to do rectangular⌠and EVERYTIME i use it, it does not post to imgur⌠instead it just open up the screenshot using gwenview.
**I just found out (when you mentioned open spectacle and select ârectangular areaâ) open spectable to print screen using ârectangular areaâ works fine in posting to imgur⌠only the global shortcut method failed to post. At least now i have narrowed it down that Global shortcut method to do rectangular area print screen fails to post to imgur. There is a bug in this method.
Well i donât know all the ins and outs of spectacle. I use it mainly for screen shots and i donât post to imagur. Just trying to help you out. I can only say that not always does everything work or work as expected! Just keep that in mind!
