Flameshot flatpak saves full screen screenshot on home even when directory is set

Author: iloveakitasCreated Apr 4, 2026Updated Sep 14, 2026
LabelsUnconfirmed Bug

Flameshot Version

v13.3.0

Installation Type

Flatpak from Flathub

Operating System type and version

Fedora Atomic KDE 43 - Secureblue

Description

I have a directory on /var/home/user/Screenshots and it does save the screenshots there, but flameshot also saves a screenshot of the entire screen on /home every time. The solution is to give filesystem=home on flatseal but I usually keep all apps without home access and I don't think that should happen, it's a weird behaviour.

Steps to reproduce

run flameshot take a screen shot (mostly a screen snip) screenshot saves to /Screenshots full screen screenshot saves to /home

Screenshots or screen recordings

No response

System Information
