Fail to configure Linux custom shortcuts to flameshot 10.2

[elad2109]

I downloaded an AppImage file for version 10.2 to ~/Applications/Flameshot
now I have to configure this cmd: ~/usr/local/bin/flameshot gui so I can create a custom shortcut on Linux.
I'm not able to configure system custom shortcut for screenshoting via flameshot.

How can I fix this?

~/usr/local/bin/flameshot gui

bash: /home/eladb/usr/local/bin/flameshot: No such file or directory

~/Applications/Flameshot/flameshot gui

bash: /home/eladb/Applications/Flameshot/flameshot: No such file or directory

ls ~/Applications/Flameshot

Flameshot-0.10.2.x86_64.AppImage`

I must be missing something:
$~/Downloads$ /usr/local/bin/flameshot gui
bash: /usr/local/bin/flameshot: No such file or directory

$:~/Downloads$ whereis flameshot
flameshot:

You should use the full name:

${HOME}/Applications/Flameshot/Flameshot-0.10.2.x86_64.AppImage gui

If you want to avoid typing the full path in terminal, perhaps the best way is to create an alias. Open you .bashrc (or if you use ZSH open .zshrc) and add the following:

alias flameshot="${HOME}/Applications/Flameshot/Flameshot-0.10.2.x86_64.AppImage"

And then save the file, close your terminal and open again.

For creating a keyboard shortcut you should use the full path.

Thanks

1. I've tried this, but it works only from the terminal and not when I set in in the custom shortcuts.

2. Why this command worked for 10.1 installation on Debian?
   ~/usr/local/bin/flameshot gui

but it works only from the terminal and not when I set in in the custom shortcuts.

I mentioned in the last line of my comment that "For creating a keyboard shortcut you should use the full path". What I meant is that you cannot use the ${HOME} when creating the keyboard shortcut. I don't know your username so I had to use environmental variable. In terminal run echo ${HOME} to get the value of the HOME variable and replace the ${HOME} in your shortcut with the value.

These are Linux knowledge and has nothing to do with Flameshot. Your might want to read a bit about variables in bash:

Note that to get the value of variables, conventionally you Would put the variable name in between {} (e.g echo ${USER}), but to get the value from commands you use () (e.g echo $(date -I))

Thanks! it worked.

Do you know why this command worked for 10.1 installation on Debian?
~/usr/local/bin/flameshot gui

Because you had the binary of Flameshot as ~/usr/local/bin/flameshot or you had a symlink file to the AppImage. If you do ls -al ~/usr/local/bin/flameshot you can see if the file exists and if it is a symlink file. If it is a symlink, the file permission will start with L as shown in this picture:
