Currently GScrot is under heavy development as we are working on the new version with some exciting features.

First of all there will be a little bit of GUI redesign so GScrot will behave a lot better when scaling the main window (currently it has a fixed size). There will also be some new menu entries to navigate easily, using shortcuts, from one screenshot in your session to another.

The biggest part of development is the new plugin interface. In future we will be able to add new plugins effectively and plugins can use the whole power of gtk, perl and imagemagick. We are planning to deliver some new plugins (e.g. resizing) as well in the next release.

Additionally it will be possible to capture a section of a specified window, e.g. a button or a label. This can be really usefull when taking screenshots for a manual or an instruction.

So, stay tuned….

Since first release of GScrot there were a lot of requests targeting the embedded drawing tool.

First of all, yes we are going to improve it in the next versions. Currently we are using the GnomeCanvas and there are some limitations
(e.g. no dashed lines, no save to pixbuf function) that lead us to make a decision about choosing a new Canvas to build our improved DrawingTool.
At the moment i am experimenting with GooCanvas and i am looking forward and it seems to be a good drop-in replacement with all the needed features.

Here are some features we are planning to implement (feedback is welcome):
- add primitives like rectangles etc.
- add text
- keep transparency when saving the picture
- resize pictures
- move objects
- delete objects
- add arbitrary objects
- add something like a marker to highlight some text
So, that’s it for now. What do you think?

Cheers
Mario

By the way there will be a maintenance release in the next few days that fixes some minor bugs.
