    Gnome Screenshot utility removed in 24.04.1 LTS?

    I upgraded to 24.04.1 LTS a week ago and the Gnome Screenshot tool seems to have been removed. I can't find it in Ubuntu Software either. Shouldn't this tool be in the software center or do I have to search for some other similar tool?

    On Ubuntu 24.04.1, if I press the PrtSc key, the Screenshot Window Sizer (Gnome extension) pops up and lets me take a screenshot.

    The package gnome-screenshot is not installed, so there's something else that's handling it on my system.

    It's no longer there because gnome-shell has an integrated screenshot utility.
    Which can either screenshot or do a screencast.

    You can always reassign the shortcut keys to make a screenshot to any other tool, including gnome-screenshot, if you wish (Settings - Keyboard).
