I had a similar idea to have a setting that controls what happens on shortcut press and when gui is running because currently the ui does not work for this. What we have is
So I have to check this box and it is under the "When spectacle is running" section. But the image will be autosaved regardless whether the other checkbox is saved or not. I think the problem is no easy but I will try again to think of something.
Yeah, noticed that one .. When the first checkbox is checked, it will always save to clipboard (either using GUI or DBUS/Hotkey).
Maybe add settings like "save to clipboard" etc. in the "Shortcuts". OR add another checkbox "use same settings for hotkey launches"?

@davidre One other thing I noticed: launch Spectacle with any shortcut (except 'Print' key standalone), for example Shift+Print. Spectacle saves the picture instantaneously but no window of Spectacle opens up, only a notification shows up. Is this also "works as designed" or do/should we change some behavior regarding this one?
