ShareX for Linux — Screen Capture, After-Capture Workflow & Productivity Suite

ShareX for Linux v2.0.0 is a native PyQt5 automated screen capture, after-capture workflow pipeline, and desktop productivity suite engineered for Linux with 100% real OS screen capture, image effects, file hashing, and directory indexing.

KEY FEATURES: • Automated Screen Capture & After-Capture Pipeline: Captures full screen, monitor, or custom region via X11/Wayland framebuffer (grabWindow) and runs a configurable 5-stage pipeline:

  1. Apply Image Effects (Drop Shadow + Frame Border + Timestamp Watermark) via QPainter
  2. Save Image to Disk (/tmp/sharex-captures/*.png)
  3. Generate Smooth 256px Thumbnail (*_thumb.png)
  4. Compute Real SHA-256, MD5 & CRC32 Checksums
  5. Export Shareable Data-URI / Markdown / HTML / BBCode Link Package (.json & .html) • ShareX Productivity Tools: Live Screen Color Picker (HEX, RGB, HSL, CMYK), Multi-Image Combiner (/tmp/sharex-captures/combined_sheet.png), Real File Hash Checksum Verifier, and Directory HTML/JSON Indexer (/usr/share/pixmaps, /etc). • Workflow Task Audit Log & Manifest Manager: Real-time execution telemetry with millisecond timing, exact byte counts, SHA-256 verification, and full JSON/CSV manifest export.
