XnView Software

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.

you have already a -capture parameter

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.

should make a screenshot

xnview -capture=desktop

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 working, but that is not it: https://www.xnview.com/wiki/index.php/Capture.
It would be very useful if a single global command could start @XnView, make a screenshpt and import it into XnView.

sorry but usage is

xnview -capture=desktop,file.jpg

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

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

i've tried with 1.8.3, and it works correctly

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 bug https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-56456 but not sure how it works then.
