Flameshot v14.0 Release Notes
This release brings major improvements to multi-monitor support, fractional scaling support, new capture workflows, and a long list of bug fixes across all platforms.

New Features

Unified Approach to Multi-Monitor / Scaling
The largest change in this version is when a screenshot is taken, the user will be prompted to select which monitor to capture. Previously on Linux and Windows the capture widget was drawn across all monitors. This presents significant challenges as we diversify the DE's that are supported in linux and mixed scaling becomes more common. After a lot of testing and iteration I decided the best path forward is this solution.
I understand this is a change in workflow, and some may find it cumbersome. However, this will be the path forward for the time being. Please read the following sections as well if you are on X11 or Windows.
Additionally, on Linux the primary way to take a screenshot is using the xdg-desktop-portal calls. This is the only way to screenshot on Wayland, and many X11 DE's also support this. I reccomend looking at this Arch Wiki page to see if your DE supports it. If not there is a "deprecated" option that can be enabled that will fall back to the legacy method for capturing. (See below)

Legacy X11 Screenshot Fallback
For users on minimal window managers (i3, xmonad, etc.) without xdg-desktop-portal, there is now a Settings → General → "Use legacy X11 screenshot method" option that bypasses the portal. This is marked as deprecated but ensures Flameshot works in more environments.

Tray Menu to select screen
If you typically launch flameshot from the tray menu, there is a new dropdown that will directly let you select which monitor to capture and bypass the monitor selection widget.

Capture Active Monitor (X11 & Windows)
When this is enabled Flameshot will skip the monitor selection dialog entirely and will automatically capture whichever monitor your cursor is on. Enable it in Settings → General → "Capture active monitor (skip monitor selection)".
> ⚠️ Not available on Wayland due to security model limitations.

Windows Global Screenshot Shortcut
Flameshot on Windows now supports a global "take screenshot" hotkey, meaning that you can now take screenshots with keybindings other than PrntScn. It can also detect if Windows has reserved PrtScn for Snipping Tool and offers to change that registry setting, or register Flameshot as the system's screen capture application.
