Created attachment 7687 wip.patch After pressing the mouse button, allow the user to move the selection rectangle. This is useful so the user doesn't need to cancel the screenshot and start again. Yes, this is inspired by the macOS screenshot tool, but instead of space bar, I'm going to pick control since it's a modifier key.
Andre Miranda referenced this bugreport in commit 5983ffb03f7e30b945eac1ea6a58ae8e14fda36e Allow user to move selection rectangle (Bug #14365) https://git.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-screenshooter/commit?id=5983ffb03f7e30b945eac1ea6a58ae8e14fda36e
Pushed to master. I'm going to let this bug open because there is a suggestion to change the cursor while moving the rectangle, I'm not sure if GTK_FLEUR is appropriate.
I just saw thes in the 1.9.3 changelog. It doesn't appear to be documented, and I can't figure out how to trigger it. When I finish the rectangle selection, it immediately opens the action dialog, regardless of wether Ctrl is pressed or not. How is this triggered?
Press ctrl while dragging. I also updated the documentation regarding this feature, though it needs a complete review.
Ah, I've figured it out. The mosue button needs to be kept pressed for this to work. It's a bit unintuitive. ;) Maybe something to add to the documentation. Thanks
