XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway flameshot

in your hyprland.conf you can also do:

env = XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP,sway

XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway flameshot

in your hyprland.conf you can also do:

env = XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP,sway

Why can't you include hyprland for the xdg_current_desktop env var in the codebase too?

but something still goes wrong. Could it be related to Aquamarine? IIRC it does what wlroots does usualy.
Can confirm btw
Upd: can not confirm on flameshot-git

any fix on this? it should work with sway and Hyprland as $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

Have you tried -git version, if you are on arch? It should already work

it does but when I try to do the screenshot it zooms a lot in the screen. I have two 4k screens.

Don't you want to open a new issue for this, it is another problem isn't it?
