[Shottr] Capture Window command captures full desktop instead of active window

[lmasieri]

Extension

https://www.raycast.com/fernando_barrios/shottr

Raycast Version

1.104.23

OS Version

macOS 26.5.2

Description

"Capture Window" stopped targeting the active window a few weeks ago — Raycast's version now captures the full desktop instead. Shottr's own shortcut (Cmd+Shift+3) still captures the active window correctly, which points at how the Raycast extension resolves the "active window" when the hotkey fires — possibly a stale/background window reference instead of current focus.

Steps To Reproduce

Focus any app window
Trigger "Capture Window" via Raycast hotkey
Preview shows full desktop, not the focused app
Compare: Shottr's native Cmd+Shift+3 captures the active window correctly

Current Behaviour

captures full desktop

Expected Behaviour

captures active/focused window, matching native Shottr behavior

Hi, I can't reproduce this issue (trigger via hotkey also works fine). Can you please provide a video? 🫠
My macOS version is 15.7.

Hmm... interesting. The full screen screenshot just shows a white screen. Again, using the built-in Shottr command works fine, but with the Raycast extension it doesnt.

Can you try running this command for the capture window from the terminal again?

open -g shottr://grab/window

And this for capture fullscreen.

open -g shottr://grab/fullscreen

[lmasieri]

open -g shottr://grab/window
This command shows me the same white screenshot behavior

open -g shottr://grab/fullscreen

This command does give me a full window screenshot of the entire screen

open -g shottr://grab/window This command shows me the same white screenshot behavior

`open -g shottr://grab/fullscreen`

This command does give me a full window screenshot of the entire screen

Weird, open -g shottr://grab/window should capture the selected window:

This Shottr extension uses these shell commands under the hood, so maybe the issue is with Shottr's URL scheme.

Can you also try open shottr://grab/window without -g?
