A feature I especially miss from Flameshot is the pinning. Sometimes you want to take a picture of something to use it on another desktop or activity without creating a screenshot to save.
Of course you could also put the edit window open somewhere, but pinning in Flameshot is much more comfortable: it is automatically in the foreground, takes up little space and disappears with a double click on it. Very handy.

How do I activate that pinning? I have installed flameshot but can't see any option to pin anything. Is this an already released feature?

I don't have that option in my installation. I have installed the stable version from my OS Repo, I probably need latest or continuous. How did you install your version?

Got version 0.6.0 (the latest)

Got it now. I'm using also openSUSE but 15.0 and that version has still the older flameshot version.

I see it now. The stuff that we are missing is the frameless window and and always staying in the foreground. We could add a file menu option and/or toolbar button that opens the current screenshot (current tab) in a frameless dialog window and hides the main window. Would that work?

Yeah, right. That's it. No frame and always in the foreground.

...although 0.6.0 is also a few days old. Flameshot doesn't seem to be very active any more either.

This was implemented but it's currently on a separate branch and will be merged into master as soon as 1.7.2 is finished, hopefully in next couple of days.
