Request Sharex

#1 Post by Yellowhoney »

I don't know if there another Program like this, however, I found it really useful that screen capture upload to cloud and you also can capture movies and convert into a Gif
(a great way to show a user where to click and make a 3 min video into at 500kb GIF )

also, allow drawing and edit

I don't know if this is windows only - hoping someone smarter then my self could get it working on MX

Ive used Peek but that then I need to upload it . doesnt allow edit and drawing

The Sharex FAQ answers your question.
https://getsharex.com/docs/faq
Will ShareX be released on Linux or Mac operating systems?

ShareX is written using C# programming language and .NET Framework. At present, the .NET technologies we utilise are only supported in Windows, and it is not possible for us to make it multi platform. There is a way to make software written using .NET Framework to work in Linux and Mac using Mono but it is not possible for ShareX to run using Mono because of hundreds of native calls, UI, external libraries and countless unsupported methods.

Recently Microsoft released .NET Core which supports writing multi platform software but it is currently extremely limited and doesn’t have UI or graphic related libraries. So .NET Core is currently only viable to make console only applications.
See https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... &iId=17055 regarding running sharex in wine.

I'm pretty sure it's beyond the MX packaging team's abilities to port Windows applications to MX so they run natively in Linux.
