Implement dedicated output value when screenshot is in clipboard and not saved as file

[rocchidavide]

Hi all, first of all thank you very much for this useful tool that is flameshot!

Since I wanted to customize notification after taking a screenshot, I wrote a bash script that launches flameshot, parses return value (something like flameshot: info: Capture saved as <path>) and executes dunstify with custom actions (open folder, open image, copy to clipboard).

The problem is that I can recognize only the case when I save to a file the screenshot because a string is returned, but if I copy to clipboard nothing is returned, exactly like if I exit from flameshot without taking any shot.
So, my idea is to return at least a string like Capture copied to clipboard in this case.

What do you think?

I'm glad that you are enjoing the software and have found it useful.

This was discussed before, that when screenshot is aborted, the Flameshot CLI should return non-zero status. You can follow the discussion in #3321

my idea is to return at least a string like Capture copied to clipboard in this case.

I like the idea. I suggest you open a feature request for this. This is a nice feature in addition to #3321 imho.
