I'm kinda getting used to it. 'electronplayer' and 'Ksnip' are basically toast. Took me a while to reinstall the Juno custom software, which was also toast for a while. Thankfully a very helpful chap from Juno helped me. Which was pretty jammy. I even managed to get the backlit keyboard back to a reasonable blue colour (the default lavender was starting to bug me). A simple slider was better though. Ksnip's still toast if I can't use it. Jammy has a half decent screenshot tool now. Well, it would be if I could save in multiple formats to a designated folder. I can drag things off the desktop however. Snapfox is a pleasant surprise. It's certainly not slow and appears to work on both updated laptops (hurrah). So, Jammy Jellyfish? Jam side up I reckon. I can dig it.
Could you elaborate? And are you on Wayland (echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE)? Some features of ksnip don't work on Wayland: https://github.com/ksnip/ksnip#supported-screenshot-types. Edit: I use ksnip's AppImage but only for cropping and basic annotation.
The dropdown's changed, and it doesn't seem to actually work. I'm more annoyed about losing electronplayer.
Are those snap versions, perhaps? If so - for ElectronPlayer, there is also an AppImage version. For ksnip, there is also the official repository non-snap version, the slightly more recent .deb version, and the AppImage and Flatpak. Do you mean the Firefox snap version? Good to know that is OK, for when later I migrate from Kubuntu 20.04 to 22.04.
Yes, I believe the versions I was using were snaps. I tried the snap Firefox on my old Lenovo laptop a while ago. It was pretty fast TBH and I couldn't tell any real difference with the default. Unlike the snap Opera version which was so slow you could brew a cup of tea while you were waiting for it to open. I'm not running the snap of Brave, but I've decided to stay with the snap Firefox. As it seems pretty snappy (lol) and snaps have some security advantages.
Regarding Wayland, I forgot it is default on Ubuntu 22.04 (but not on Kubuntu, for instance). The ksnip readme says, "Currently, Snaps and Gnome Wayland ≥ 41 only support xdg-desktop-portal screenshots, this is a limitation coming from the Gnome and Snaps, non-native screenshot tools are not allowed to take screenshots in any other way except through the xdg-desktop-portal." I guess that may be why ksnip is 'toast' on Ubuntu 22.04. I don't know if the other ksnip versions (repository non-snap version, .deb version, AppImage, Flatpak) would be OK, or if those are similarly affected by Wayland.
Switching to X11 should just be a matter of selecting it in the login screen. Ksnip should then be fully functional. The choice will stick until the user changes it. I've moved from Kubuntu 20.04 to a clean install of Xubuntu 22.04 after which I installed Sway (Wayland).
TBH I had an inkling that Ksnip would become toast from what I'd read about the upgrade. The same with ElectronPlayer.
