literally used flameshot this morning and now a few hours later it won't open either, no updates or anything. On arch with plasma 6 on Wayland.

update: I've found that its because flameshot is opening on the wrong monitor (I had it off) and would not switch to the active monitor

I know I'm a bit late on this. I had the same problem today. I found that when I opened the program and nothing "opened," I could go to the "show hidden icons" ^ looking button on my taskbar (Windows 10) next to my wifi icon. From there I could see that Flameshot was running and when I clicked on the Flameshot icon from there it pulled up what I was looking for. I hope this helps!

Thanks @mjodonnell01 for the report. Based on your feedback and my inability to replicate the issue I'm going to close this.
