Re: Help with screenshot API.

After trying copying code in xdg-desktop-portal-kde, I am now presented
with
The process is not authorized to take a screenshot

 From my research(https://phabricator.kde.org/D29407,
https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php%3Ff=305&t=176422.html), it should have
been fixed by putting the app in a root write only dir. But even after
putting the app in /usr/bin and the .desktop file in
/usr/share/applications, I still cannot get rid of this error.

I am providing my .desktop file as reference if that helps.
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Kool Intelligence
Exec=koolintelligence
Icon=kde
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Categories=System
X-DBUS-ServiceName=org.kde.koolintelligence
X-KDE-DBUS-Restricted-Interfaces=org.kde.kwin.Screenshot,org.kde.KWin.ScreenShot2

Sorry for asking every small thing, I am new to this, and the lack of
documentation around this leaves me no option.
Please help me solve this (hopefully) final error.

A very heartfelt thanks for your support,
Rahul

CaptureWorkspace expects two arguments: a dictionary with various <br>
