Version 12.0.rc1 Beta

This is the beta for the version 12.0 release. We will be in beta for about a week unless major issues are discovered. It would be very helpful if you posted on the discussion linked to this release an let me know what platform you tested. This will significantly cut down on my testing and lead to a quicker release.

This discussion was created from the release v12 Beta.

Hello! I'm trying the beta on Windows (Windows 10 Pro - 21H2 (2009: 19044)).

1. The selection boxes are too faint (at least given the Windows dark mode options that I am using?). Image:

Also, 2) the application seems not to heed my dark mode settings (but perhaps that is a long-standing problem; until now I have used Flameshot only on Linux).

So far everything else seems good (but I have not tried to use most of the functions).

[borgmanJeremy]

Thanks for reporting this. I'll try to address this vor V13

Hi. Just compiled 12.0.rc1 for OpenMandriva Cooker with Clang 14.0.4, lld and lto and works fine. I have not noticed any problems on plasma 5.25.

[Steffo99]

Everything looks fine here:

Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.95.0

I will continue to test the build during the day to see if I spot any issues.

[mmahmoudian]

Using Flameshot v12.0.0 (55ba195), I observed that the uploaded image does not populate the Latest Uploads list. This is now reported in #2672

[greenfoo]

No problems on my side either (except for #2063, which was already present in v11)
