List of current icons available in this PR (Much more can be included)

The user can save the screenshot with these icons included.

Technical Implementation Notes

  • Adds a new Icon tool to the capture toolbar
  • Uses built-in symbols instead of external icons at the moment
  • The placed icons can be modified similarly to other elements currently available in the application
  • Keeping this first version of the feature small by using a fixed set of built-in symbols

Testing

  • Built and executed Flameshot locally
  • Selected Icon tool and placed icons in screenshot
  • Icons appear as placed in saved image
  • All existing annotation tools still work as expected
