Hello, I'm using hyprland with arch linux and trying to take screenshot with
hyprshot -m output -f screen.png

but it results in saving a blank image and outputs
convert: geometry does not contain image '/home/katana/screen.png' @ warning/attribute.c/GetImageBoundingBox/554.

@lavakalas If you discover what the source of the issue is, please let me know - a bunch of applications started returning a black screen and I'm unsure what caused it. wayland? hyprland? wlroots?
Some of them, I haven't tested before the ones I knew worked have stopped working, like OBS and Discord - so it might still be grim.

Switched to sway, bug is gone, grim is taking screenshots as it's supposed to. Doesn't seem to be the wayland issue.

are you using nvidia? because if yes, install hyprland-nvidia-hidpi-git. This fully fixed it for me.

Actually hyprland-nvidia-git was enough for me, I got it working a few days ago finally... fixed a few other issues as well. I guess it's not quite true that it only fixes "flickers" as some sites would suggest.

Yeah, for me it also (kinda) fixed a weird stuttering issue in games running through XWayland.

for whatever reason screenshotting broke again.... from what ive seen, the patches are currently not being properly maintained, could also be something else tho

I use AMD so I don't know how to debug Nvidia issues. Either way, this script uses general commands like grim, slurp, etc.

It appears this issue is only present on Nvidia cards, as I've had no reports from any AMD users and it's working correctly on my end. Since Nvidia is known to have lacking support for Wayland, I'm going to assume it's not an issue with this package.

Feel free to open another issue if you're an AMD/Intel user and you get this same problem.
