I think windows now automatically forces the snipping tool.
See: https://flameshot.org/docs/guide/windows-help/ to change that

It does associate prt scr button with snippingtool, but that is not the issue.

ShareX and Greenshot (abandonware from 2017) disassociates snippingtool from the prt scr key on behalf of the user. The developers do not direct Windows users "Hey, you have to figure this out and do all this stuff to make it work for you as a Windows user."

What I am seeing in this project is this "If you install Flameshot on Windows then you as the user need to jump through these hoops because us Flameshot developers are not going to do it for you on Windows."

So tell me "Flameshot is a Linux tool\utility and not really meant for Windows without saying Flameshot is a Linux tool\utility and not really meant for Windows."

I think Flameshot is superior to other screenshot software, but its usability is fatally flawed on Windows until the project developers drop the Plugin way of doing things (which has been discussed for years but no action taken), and figure out how to deliver simple usability for Windows users such as how to trigger Flameshot screenshot via key combo and timestamps.

Other projects can do it. So it is not as if it is not possible. What I am talking about is a Flameshot project developer issue. I go back to one thing - the project developers are focused on Linux and Windows is an afterthought.
