Via DMS CLI:
dms plugins install quickCaptureOr manually:
git clone https://github.com/hthienloc/dms-quick-capture ~/.config/DankMaterialShell/plugins/quickCaptureThe New Backend is distributed as a GitHub Release asset and installed separately after verifying its checksum. For installation and backend development, see the dms-screenshot-rs README.
Users who prefer to build from source can install the required tools and dependencies, then run:
sudo dnf install rust cargo cairo-devel libXcursor-devel
git clone https://github.com/hthienloc/dms-quick-capture
cd dms-quick-capture
./scripts/update-bundled-backend.shThe script builds an optimized binary and installs it into backend/<architecture>/ inside the plugin. Select New Backend in Quick Capture settings after the build completes.
