Description Jonas Ådahl 2016-07-20 06:14:57 UTC 
We shouldn't use cogl for screen capture directly, since we make (to be incorrect) assumptions on how mutter draws the output. Lets use the new API provided mutter.
Comment 1 Jonas Ådahl 2016-07-20 06:28:28 UTC 
For reference the following commit was pushed:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/commit/?id=f5c058a036b21da747921d0ed9eefa64331e4f17

which adds support for capturing using the new API as long as there is only one framebuffer captured. A full implementation will come later, when it is decided how the user interface for screen capture/shooting should be, which would effect how the implementation will look.
