Subject: gnome-screenshot: open in editor
Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2008 18:07:39 +0000
Package: gnome-utils
Version: 2.20.0.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

Thanks for packaging gnome-screenshot.

Most of the times I take a screenshot, I need to do some postprocessing
afterwards: so every time I save the file, then I open gimp and go to
look for the file that I saved.

It would be very useful to me if gnome-screenshot allowed to open the
image in an editor (such as gimp) instead of saving it.


Ciao,

Enrico

Hi,
I'm not sure what you expect from this flood of bug reports.

These are all against the version of asterisk present in the stable 
suite of Debian which means that no minor fixes are accepted -- only 
security fixes and severe bugs, such as data corruption.

Moreover, these are all are upstream issues and I'm not sure what we can 
do about them. Forwarding them to Digium is not an option for many 
reasons: a) upstream needs a license disclaimer on all patches b) these 
are against asterisk 1.2 which is frozen for only security fixes.

I'd suggest to:
- Verify which of these apply to asterisk 1.4 (present in
  unstable/testing).
- Report back which of them apply so we can close the rest.
- Open up a bug report against bugs.digium.com suggesting your fixes to
  upstream (be careful not to report any bristuff issues!)
- Then report back the URLs of the bugs on Digium's BTS.

I may be requiring too much from you but your bugs are *code* bugs and 
you should approach upsteam with those.

I am keeping the bugs open for the moment even though I'm not too sure 
about it.

Thanks,
Faidon

This would be nice, but you should note that gimp already has a
screenshooter, which is much better than gnome-screenshot anyway, so
this looks superfluous.

Hello Faidon,

sorry that I found so many bugs in your package ;-)
I had to fix them because I needed a stable version. Later I reported them and 
shared my patches "in the hope that they would be useful".

Actucally I had thought that asterisk taking up all CPU time (#465460), 
accessing freed memory (#465453), memory leaks (#465455) and a broken build 
system (#465452, #465458) wouldn't be considered minor bugs that are not 
worth fixing...

Hmmm... I had just read the bug reporting guidelines 
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting where it says:
| Don't file bugs upstream
|
| If you file a bug in Debian, don't send a copy to the upstream software
| maintainers yourself, as it is possible that the bug exists only in Debian.
| If necessary, the maintainer of the package will forward the bug upstream.

In fact, I believe that some of the reported bugs only exist in your package 
(which is based on 1.2.13) and have long been fixed in upstream 1.2.26.
Thus reporting them to you seemed reasonable to me.

I'm afraid you are, I wish I had more time though. If I were to test/debug 
Digium's current version to see whether the bugs still exist there, I could 
have used their version in the first place.
(In fact, what *is* the advantage of Debian asterisk_1.2.13~dfsg-2etch2 over 
Digium asterisk-1.2.26 ?)
Anyway, at least some of them do apply to asterisk 1.4, too, e.g. #465460.

> but your bugs are *code* bugs and you should approach upsteam with those.

Why, they are just *bug* reports. The fact that I happened to find and share 
some possible fixes shouldn't make a difference. The patches are meant as a 
suggestion, just an example of how the bugs could be fixed. Just ignore the 
patches if they bother you. ;-)

Not for me!

Hello!

I am investigating gnome-utils bugs and found your report here:

	http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=465478

You can drag the image from gnome-screenshot and drop it into GIMP,
which will open it for editing. Does that work for you, or you need
something else?

See you,

Thanks, I didn't know it.

That would solve half of the problem, in that if gimp isn't open one
also has to go through the steps of starting gimp AND creating an empty
image.  Note that if I have to start gimp manually, I can just as well
use its own acquire from screen function.

It would certainly make things easier than saving to a file and then
loading the file in gimp, which would mean going twice through those
insulting abominations that are gnome file dialogues.

I still wouldn't mind an "edit" button.  If someone decides that it
would clutter the interface too much, however, I might disagree, but
that would be fair enough with me.


Ciao,

Enrico

I actually agree with you on this. I'll forward your bug to an upstream
bug report that is discussing a new UI for the screenshot app.

Thanks!
