So I wanted to share this screenshot to show my current setup which took almost no effort www.enlightenment.org/ss/display.php?image=e-6189d9eb7f4d02.19965651.jpgBut when I took the first shot, I never got the old prompt about whether to save or upload the shot, etc. I had to go into the settings and turn on the old style options first. No biggie. Then I took another shot and chose to upload it. That all went fine as well, but once the shot was uploaded, it gave me the dialogue showing the link where the shot was now online. I was able to click on the link text and ctrl+A to select it, but I am not able to copy the link. I've tried Ctrl+C as well as Ctrl+Shift+C and nothing works. I also right-clicked the selected text and only see the options "delete" and "select all", and they don't seem to copy the text for me, either. I can even edit the link, etc, but can't copy it. Can anyone else confirm this? I had to manually navitage to enlightenment.org/ss/ and then find the shot myself to get the link copied. We just need a way to copy this link to clipboard. Extra points if it auto-copies to clipboard when the dialogue appears after uploading. |

What settings are you referring to, can you share screenshot? I had no idea any screenshots could be automatically uploaded to enlightenment.org and I don't see anything in settings about it... or how to turn on the old style settings you mention?
Default "Shot Module" screenshot settings:
I also use the other "Screenshot module", it's settings also don't offer such an option...
EDIT: FOUND IT! That's that screenshot guide on the shot module. Cool beans.

The old mode is the setting in your first picture. Screenshot Guide. "quality/share/save" or whatever. the second box from the top.
When it's on, it will give a second prompt after the normal first one to ask whether to save the shot locally or upload it for sharing.
The final dialogue after the shot is uploaded is where the bug is.

There is definitely some weirdness copying the link. It will paste into terminal, but not into browser? I've never ran into that before.

I can't even get it to paste into terminal. My clipboard shows it was never copied at all until I copied the link from the site in my browser.
Though I have seen that sort of thing in Bodhi before, as well (only pasting into certain types of apps). I recall having to have to paste some things into text editors/terminal before I could paste them into IRC/browser or something to that effect long ago.

I cant even figure out whats going on. Apparently, I can't even type into browser when the dialog with the URL is up! Anything I type appears as if I'm trying to edit the filename of the already saved file. It's not just a pasting problem for me.
If I open a terminal, I can type in there. If I then try to type in the browser, it appears in terminal. I cannot get keyboard focus back to firefox while that dialog with the URL is displayed.

Sounds like a problem with window focus/ kb focus in the shot dialogue's window attributes. Either that or some obscure EFL thing.

Hi guys
I have an answer for screenshot module bug. Actually it is not a screenshot bug but let me explain in two stories:
1. In the past there was an issue with enlightenment server for uploading screenshot. It lasted for months and users were not able to upload any pics there. I decided to change the screenshot code for opening ephoto which had/has an option for sharing ss on the imgur. Of course I wanted to have an option for that in the settings so there is "Screenshot guide quality/share/save" label. Yes, I can admit the "Legacy" label would fit probably better.
2. Copy link issue: OK. Everything works fine in BL 5. But Ylee wanted to update the EFL version for upcoming B6 version and we have found the copy/paste feature does not work with Moksha entry widget and new EFL. I struggled hours and Ylee days on the solution but we were not able to solve it. Simply, EFL is still under heavy development and copy/paste API changed unfortunatelly. It is still harder to keep the pace with Moksha to be "friend" with EFL. Robert spent days if not weeks on some other compatibility stuff the users most probably have no idea was a problem. Unfortunately this bug still persists in all entries and we sort of ignore it for now. Maybe you can ask why we don't stick with older EFL version? It is also problematic because for example newer Terminology versions suits better with new EFL and we do not want to lose some features.
Semi solution: In case you want to use the legacy shot module with E server, I can examine a possibility of adding a button for copying link into clipboard directly without entry widget.

I'm not desperate to have this working. I can work around it.
On the other hand, this kind of mess with development issues is exactly why we forked E17. It might be time to fork EFL as well if these issues keep messing up Bodhi stuff.

Actually the easiest workaround is not to use the legacy mode which is disabled by default. Use Ephoto for uploading to imgur...

Everything works fine in BL 5. For the record, I tested on BL5.1 - I thought (until now) that moksha/efl were the same so didn't know there could be a difference. And for me, when that dialog with the URL is present, I cannot paste (or type) into browser. Yeah, a copy to clipboard button would be useful. Even if there weren't other issues, highlighting and copying is still inconvenient compared to just clicking copy link to clipboard. With the assumption that it stays in clipboard even if close the dialog. |

No problem with typing or pasting in browser here (Google Chrome)
