Interop with flameshot (screenshot tool)

[luanpotter]

Hi, thanks for this amazing tool, it is a life changer!

I've noticed that it doesn't currently play well with Flameshot - but maybe I am doing something wrong, on my end, as I see that there is a previous, closed issued about a different issue with it.

For me the issue is that the flameshot overlay opens in an empty, unnamed worskpace, with no windows in it, and cannot be moved. If I switch back to any of my actual workspaces, flameshot closes the overlay. Curiously the built-in macos screenshot tool overlay does work nicely - but it is nowhere near as good as Flameshot.

I have default configs for both applications.

Aerospace verison (latest):

> aerospace --version

Flameshot version:

Sorry if this is not the right forum for this type of issue; please feel free to close if this is not appropriate.

getting the same behavior, did you end up switching screenshot tools?
Know any good open source ones for macos?

same behavior here, is there a way to tell aerospace not to track certain applications as a temporary workaround?

Edit: I was able to get it to behave as expected by ensuring the terminal I launch flameshot from and flameshot itself had Screen & System Audio Recording settings enabled
