There's some irony in this for me personally. My most recent major "I quit Apple" rage moment was trying to get Flameshot (which I use routinely on Linux) working on my Macbook, so I could more easily take screenshots, just to share something with a friend, because the built-in screenshot functionality in MacOS is so clunky. Between Gatekeeper and the XCode upgrade train, Mac OS's dogged insistence on not letting me run the software I wanted it to run worked me into a rage and I swear I'll never buy another Mac for casual daily computing again. They've really ruined the OS.
- spott 2y agoI’m curious: what is so clunky about the built in screenshot app? I don’t doubt you, I’ve just never had that experience, and I’m curious what I’m missing.
- faizmokh 2y agoBased on FlameShot app, it seems like his/her use case is more towards taking a screenshot & edit them at the same time.
- Aaron2222 2y agoCould you elaborate more on the issues you ran into? Could you not just download their pre-compiled version and bypass Gatekeeper in the normal way?
- malshe 2y agoI use the built-in screenshot function almost daily for years. Clunky is opposite of my experience with it so I’m curious what you mean by that.
- xenospn 2y agoSame. It’s one of my most used features. Shortcut -> select area -> paste wherever. It just works.
