XnView Software

Previously I was using 1.5.0 Now I updated to 1.8.3. Installed from DEB in Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon (Ubuntu 22.04).
After `xnview -capture=desktop,file.jpg` in console I get:
`qt.qpa.clipboard: QXcbClipboard: Unable to receive an event from the clipboard manager in a reasonable time`
I see an old ...

I still have the same question and need: how to take screenshot and open in XnView by using some keyboard shortcut?

Thanks but this also does not work - and I corrected , to . Xn starts but no screenshot.

xnview -capture=desktop should make a screenshot


Thank you @xnview but this does not work for me in Linux Mint 21.1 with Cinnamon, it just opens empty Xnview MP.
If XnView is already is running, command makes a screenshot but does not import into XnView.
I see that button inside Xnview is ...

Sorry, I do not understand.
I saw -capture for window or desktop but not for taking and importing a screenshot.
xnview-capture just opens xnview, does not take screenshot.

I take screenshots often, now after that I need to open Xnview to paste it.
Hiopefully there can be a parameter so that Xnvie takes screenshot and then this can be assigened to a shortcut key.
Like this: xnview -capture=screenshot.

I did not know about this option, as it is not in xnview.ini, very nice, easier that Ctrl+Shift+C. Works for me, copies image and path.
Is there a similar to copy from Clipboard like CopyFromClipboard=1? Instead of Ctrl+Shift+V.

@Timur: In Tools > Settings... > Integration -- Paths tab do you have your .ini file in User (System) or Program (XnView) ?
I'm not sure whether that could possibly be relevant and in Mint there might be a rights problem?

It is User ~/.config/xnviewmp/xnview.ini and it changed recently, so I do ...

I also had this problem using XNview v.1.4.5 in Linunx Mint. I do not see change with v1.5.0, I click Never ask again but in vain, asked again.
I do not see that option in Settings.
