Hi,
I expect to generate a usable image of my screen when pressing the STAMP key on my keyboard. In fact, Zorin 8 does emit a photo-camera sound and also makes the screen flash, but no usable image is produced. I tried to "paste" it (by mouse right-click) but no image is pasted either on Gimp or Libreoffice Writer.
What's happening?
Thanks,
regards.

If all else fails...as a last resort ...you can always install [ Kazam ] from software center...and take a screenshot that way !!!!

Thanks, however my questions are:
am I the only one experiencing such a problem?
If I'm not, is there any reason why it should be further integrated in the next Zorin releases?
thanks,
regards.

Hi maccabbeo, this used to work in earlier versions and I think it would place the image directly in the '/home' folder instead of '/home/Pictures'. All I can advise is that you either use Screenshot (Menu | Accessories) or install an app with more functions than 'Screenshot' - 'shutter'

It does not create any image: either in /home , /home/Pictures , /tmp , ...nowhere else either.
Again, the presence of such a tool as default application is just useless.
Developers should consider remove it.

Hi maccabbeo, I thought you were referring to the keyboard command of 'Print Scrn' (Print Screen). I will raise these and similar issues for the next release with the Devs - will try and PM from home as at work!
