  • kImageAnnotator

    Tool for annotating images

  • I actually just learned about Ksnip, because I first wanted to recommend you KDE Spectacle, but I noticed it didn't show a crop tool. I discovered Spectacle uses Ksnip's kImageAnnotator for editing and thus discovered Ksnip. Somehow Ksnip does show a crop button and other features that are not enabled in Spectacle. I think I like Spectacle more for quickly taking a screenshot, while Ksnip seems nice to have for a quick edit.

  • flameshot

    Powerful yet simple to use screenshot software :desktop_computer: :camera_flash:

  • org.gimp.GIMP

  • You could install the flatpak https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gimp.GIMP, which might limit it somewhat.

  • drawing

    Simple image editor for Linux

  • Drawing https://maoschanz.github.io/drawing/

  • ksnip

    ksnip the cross-platform screenshot and annotation tool

  • Maybe Ksnip is what you're looking for.

  • gimp-appimage

  • Appimage?

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • gvfs

    Read-only mirror of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs

  • As far as I know GVFS has nothing to do with content indexing, that task is accomplished by trackerd. GVFS is very lightweight and is needed to let applications access files that are not present on the local filesystem but are on external devices (e g. MTP), network shares (e.g. HTTPS, WEBDAV) or cloud services (GOOGLE PHOTO) ecc.

  • swappy

    A Wayland native snapshot editing tool, inspired by Snappy on macOS

  • Sounds like Swappy. https://github.com/jtheoof/swappy
