Hello for flameshot I need to add mkdir ${PICTURES}/Screenshots but unfortunately subfolders are only supported for ${HOME}.
So with a whitelist profile the program is returning an error because there is no Screenshots folder and it looks like it can't create it, you need to create it manually (assuming that you have noblacklisted and whitelisted the whole ${PICTURES}).
Also for privacy it would be better to allow only a subfolder of Pictures instead of giving access to everything.

It would be very useful, thanks.
