By default, openSUSE KDE Print Screen Application was used by KSNAPSHOT. Not only openSUSE, but all Linux KDE desktop.

I often make some tutorials with some pictures. Actually, Ksnapshot is good enough for Print Screen Application, there are many Capture mode for capture your desktop. Like Full Screen Capture, Rectangular Region Capture, etc. But after they captured, it can’t edit the picture, I must open the third party application for editing the picture like GIMP or Inscape, and it’s wasting my time, eaaaaa. 😀

For alternate, I’m using Third Party Application from windows. The name is Lighshot. This apps can edit your capture result. and save to your lightshot cloud account. But, for Linux Distro’s, The apps can only running with WINE.

Because their apps using windows application format (exe). Of course you must installing wine on your openSUSE Leap.

For install Wine on your openSUSE Leap, type the following command :

Okay, if yout Desktop have been installed wine. Download Lighshot Application here :
