Package: ksnapshot
Version: unknown (using KDE 2.1.1 )
Severity: wishlist
Installed from: SuSE
Compiler: gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
OS: Linux 2.2.16 i686
OS/Compiler notes:
In ksnapshot program I would like to see checkbox "Grab with mouse
cursor". That means that program should get cursor shape and lay it over
bitmap as most of recent videocards do cursor in hardware and will not
allow to grab it directly from screen.
Feature is very useful for taking screenshots for bug reports ;)

Is it possible ?
KDE now knowjow to change cursor theme.
So,get theme couldbe possible.
If not,juste get the cursor position and include a generic cursor : it can be usefull,even if wrong cursor shape.

Wish to include or exclude mouse cursor when taking screen shot.
For example, include "paint bucket" cursor in graphic object for OpenOffice.org DRAW documentation.
Alternative would be some "clip art" feature somewhere in KDE so that I could copy an image of some particular mouse cursor shape (such as the paint bucket shape) and overlay the clip art onto my ksnapshot image.
Found all sorts of mouse cursor shapes, but no paint bucket. Oi. :-(

Created attachment 10637
Allows ksnapshot to take screenshots that include the mouse pointer
I created a patch that adds this feature to ksnapshot. It relies on the XFIXES
extension. It adds a new checkbox that allows you to turn the feature on and
off, and a couple DCOP functions to get and set the state of the checkbox.
It also adds DCOP functions to get and set the state of the "include
decorations" checkbox, since I didn't see existing ones. And it fixes a couple
of variables that could have been used before they were initialized.

perhaps take the "include window decorations" checkbox and do sth like:
Include: [ ] Window borders
[ ] Mouse cursor
it shouldn't mess things up too much, i suppose. i don't understand why
the patch provided disables the mouse cursor in region mode, however.
also, i wonder if the de-premultiplying is needed in qt4 (this would
have to go into trunk, too late for 3.x, obviously). that would make the
code a lot nicer =)
adding the ability to turn these things on/off using d-bus is a nice
touch, though. =)

Region mode stops and waits for you to draw a rectangle with the mouse,
so at the moment that KSnapshot grabs the screen contents, the mouse
cursor would always be positioned at the very corner of the rectangle
you just drew. KSnapshot also changes the cursor to a crosshair while
you're doing this. That's why the patch disables the mouse cursor
grabbing when in region mode.
I don't know how you'd make them compatible... stop and wait for a
subsequent mouse click inside the rectangle you just drew?

For multiple cursor support we need to:

2) Remember the current XGetClientPointer(dpy)
2) For each one found, do XSetClientPointer(dpy, pointer, None)
3) Now when we do XFixesGetCursorImage(dpy) we will get the image of the current cursor
4) XSetClientPointer the cursor back to the original one

#36
Thanks a lot for patching trunk. I will look into the code.
#35
It is probably against my patch, but I haven't seen anything similar. Does it happen all the time? (Both from ksnapshot and PrtSc), Nevertheless you can test against trunk now, but I doubt there are that many ways to grab the cursor - and John patch probably works in a similar way.
I use:
XFixesCursorImage *xfcursorImage = XFixesGetCursorImage( QX11Info::display());
QImage mouseCursor( (uchar*)xfcursorImage->pixels,xfcursorImage->width, xfcursorImage->height, QImage::Format_ARGB32_Premultiplied );
Could it be that this only happens if you press PrtSc or does it happen
from knsapshot itself? I had some problems *not* getting a waiting
cursor when ksnapshot was loading (on PrtSc) - and I wonder if this
could be a timing issue. (Meaning happening when PrtSc was pressed and
when mouse-cursor was changing back to normal cursor pointer. Meaning
that the *xfcursorImage is getting invalid.)
