Thanks for creating the issue. Two points:

1. Is it a bug report or feature request? You filled a bug report form but wrote "I would like a feature where".
2. Please post your screenshots and recordings directly to Github. For security reasons we do not open files on thridparty websites.

This is a feature request, I know there's a flair for enhancements but I couldn't find it unfortunately.

About the screenshot, my bad. here's an imgur link so you don't have to download anything https://imgur.com/hNCfTCq

the photo itself:

the warning isn't an eyesore, but sort of defeats the purpose of a screenshot tool since it's taking up a small amount of space..

Also, I would like to add that reporting this as a bug was a mistake, I misclicked. Should have clicked "Feature request" instead

If you mean that thing in the top right of the screen, then it is called "notification", and if I don't remember wrong, you can turn it off in the settings already

Oh yep, that's a thing, but I meant more so the grim warning. It's fine in the terminal but having it appear as a notification is sometimes annoying

The "copied to clipboard notification" is quite useful and I'd like to see it, but I guess turning off the grim warning would mean recompiling?

I looove flameshot, but i am loving Hyprland too. That grim warning notification shows on my print screens :(

A --disable-grim-warning flag or config looks good, please, could someone implement this feature?

NOTE: I solved temporarily this issue removing the warning code line and building again.

Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot && cd flameshot

Edit file and remove warning code
nano src/utils/screengrabber.cpp

Building
cmake -S . -B build -D USE_WAYLAND_GRIM=1 && cmake --build build

Copying executable to your bin folder
sudo cp ./build/src/flameshot /usr/local/bin

@ardishco-the-great may I ask why you closed this

@ardishco-the-great may I ask why you closed this

I just realised that this was already kind of a feature and thought I would close this since I thought it would be unncessary to add to the issue count..

But now looking at it again, I might have misread my own post when clearing my backlog of issues that I forgot to close so feel free to keep it open...

I would also appreciate being able to disable the warning, as it means that I usually try to avoid capturing the whole screen to not include the notification (though sometimes I just wait for it to go away if I need the whole screen).

Just looking into it now though, for anyone using dunst, you can actually hide these notifications with this in the dunstrc:

[ignore_flameshot_warning]
    body = "grim's screenshot component is implemented based on wlroots, it may not be used in GNOME or similar desktop environments"
    format = ""

Shouldn't stderr be a great place to have this warning instead of notifications?

I hope this gets merged soon. Annoying notification to receive when you're not using GNOME. I'm getting it after compiling with the GRIM flag on Hyprland.

I'm using this regex to remove the warning from the file:

    perl -0777 -i -pe 's/AbstractLogger::warning\(\)\n\s+<< tr\("grim(.|\\n)*?"\);//gs' src/utils/screengrabber.cpp

I'm not a regex expert, but currently works for me.

Here's my full script:

cd /tmp

if [ -d "flameshot" ]; then
	rm -r flameshot
fi

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot.git

cd flameshot

# remove the warning https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/3186
perl -0777 -i -pe 's/AbstractLogger::warning\(\)\n\s+<< tr\("grim(.|\\n)*?"\);//gs' src/utils/screengrabber.cpp

cmake -B build -S . \
	-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=None \
	-DUSE_WAYLAND_GRIM=ON \
	-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
	-Wno-dev

cmake --build build

cmake --install build

cd /tmp

if [ -d "flameshot" ]; then
	rm -r flameshot
