| Originally Wayland wasn't meant to have protocols allowing screenshots ([[https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland/-/issues/32|see here]]), that is about to change with [[https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/merge_requests/4545|new proposed protocols]]. In the meantime we decided to use wlroots' [[https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlr-protocols/-/blob/master/unstable/wlr-screencopy-unstable-v1.xml|screencopy protocol]] because that's probably what our compositor will support. | Originally Wayland wasn't meant to have protocols allowing screenshots ([[https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland/-/issues/32|see here]]), but that changed with [[https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/merge_requests/4545|new protocols]]. As the capturing protocols were in development, we added screenshooting support using wlroots' [[https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlr-protocols/-/blob/master/unstable/wlr-screencopy-unstable-v1.xml|screencopy protocol]] because that's probably what our compositor will based on. It's very likely that ''wlr-screencopy-unstable-v1'' support will be dropped in favor of exclusively ''ext-image-capture-source-v1'' and ''ext-image-copy-capture-v1''. |

| At the moment only Entire Screen screenshots are supported ([[https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-screenshooter/-/merge_requests/52|xfce4-screenshooter!52]]), Rectangle Selection will be implemented next but Active Window is going to be much trickier, perhaps we'll need a custom protocol for our compositor to take care of that. | At the moment only Entire Screen screenshots are supported ([[https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-screenshooter/-/merge_requests/52|xfce4-screenshooter!52]]), Rectangle Selection will be implemented next but Active Window is going to be much trickier, perhaps we'll need a custom protocol for our compositor to take care of that. |
