Pinning is impossible with "Close after capture"

[mmahmoudian]

Flameshot version
Flameshot v0.8.0
Compiled with Qt 5.15.0
flameshot-git r681.def8ce2-1 AUR

Describe the bug
When the "Close after capture" is on, pinning the screenshot is impossible as the Flameshot terminates after taking the screenshot and before displaying the pinned image.

To Reproduce
"Close after capture" is on and try to pin a selected area.

Expected behavior
I expect the Flameshot to gets terminated after I close the pinned window.

Is this even a bug? The feature is close after capture so I would expect this.

@borgmanJeremy I think this is a logical bug, in the sense that it obstructs/glitches out a behavior in the software (pinning). I think there are two ways to address this:

1. not to show the tools that "close after capture" would affect them if the "close after capture" is on
2. Flameshot stays running as long as the pinned window is not closed by user

I personally vote for the latter.

I want to delete th close after capture feature 😁...so many confusing interactions

[mmahmoudian]

@borgmanJeremy I don't have very strong feeling about it. If you have doubts, we can have poll to have the final verdict.

But in general from the issues I have seen and personal experience, if:

1. the "close after capture" is disabled by default and
2. we have a rule that add certain tools to the chain of action so that the application termination happens after them
   then the "close after capture" should not be an issue anymore.

Close after catpure is removed.
