Great tool! But be careful though. In the default config there is a button next to the save local button which uploads your image as a public image to imgur without asking for confirmation.

Fortunately you can remove the button via the settings menu though I do think it is a rather dangerous button to have there by default.

I personally have bound my print screen button to “flameshot gui” - it presents an excellent dialog window of what you actually want to do with the screenshot, and offers to annotate it etc.

90% of the time copying it to the clipboard is good enough, but sometimes the option to upload as a public image is nice.

Thanks for the notice, I was taken away by how great the tool was working and making my workflow far easier when helping people with various kinds of IT problems. Uploading a screenshot of something that might contain sensitive information is not something I want to have happen by accident!

Since ctrl+c also works for copying you can just use that and avoid potentially misclicking on the imgur button.

I believe anon uploads to imgur must be accessed by direct url and are not searchable/findable by accident?
