@pocketvj wl-paste always works (and make sure to file a bug against your favorite image-viewer if it doesn't support paste in 2023). Which reminds me that I still need to fix hydrogen.
There's also gnome-screenshot which saves to folders nicely. (Phosh itself currently does clipboard only)

thanks for your quick reply!

so there is no option to make changes in the phosh-screenshot button?

(was used to sxmo where i could solve anything with a script, in gnome i am completely lost)...

@pocketvj You can add a shell scripts that does

wl-paste > ~/Pictures/Screenshots/date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S".png

(or s.th. more elaborate). Use that in a desktop file in

.local/share/applications

add that to phosh's favorites and hit it after the screenshot and it will put it in that folder

it seems to be that we need to escape special characters like ~ in desktop entries, and i am too stupid to solve this quest (on mobile only environment) 😅

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Screenshotsaver
Exec=wl-paste > ~/Pictures/Screenshots/"$(date +'%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S').png"
Icon=

@pocketvj Put the command in a shell script to get shell expansion. You can poke with "sh -c ..." but a script is so much nicer (and as a bonus you can invoke it from the command line too if it's in $PATH)

its still all a bit crazy:
since select/copy/paste between applications does not work, the workaround is to take a screenshot e.g. of #Tuba then run #TextSnatcher, then open TextEditor to paste the extracted text, so I can select what I need, then copy it to paste into Tuba to make a post.... 🤪

so even writing and testing a bash script can take hours due to missing copy/paste in terminal (which is nicely solved in sxmo btw).... but yea, kind of getting there😂

@pocketvj select/copy/paste works fine here. (Using phosh-osk-stub: https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-osk-stub). Otherwise I couldn't do a thing. I have CTRL-{,SHIFT}-{C,V} as keyboard shortcuts in the terminal layout so it's super quick.

👍
but what do you do when you are not able to select the text 😂

@pocketvj File a bug against the app 😃 (or maybe Droidian to pick one that works, depending on which app that is)
