Shutter 0.70 released!
Version 0.70 of Shutter is now available! Get it before the server overloads 😉
This is the first release of Shutter as it is – we’ve just renamed it from GScrot. So you’ll now find it called Shutter inder Applications â–¸ Accessories, along with a nicer new logo (thanks to Pascal Grochol for the design).
The software has been improved and streamlined, as well as the name – we think “shutter” more accurately relates to what you’ll be doing alongside the software itself. The new software can be downloaded pretty quickly, so if you’re on an o2 broadband line you’ll be fine. Feel free to give us any feedback – there’s a lot of new things happening in this version, which we’ll explain more about now.
Major updates in this release are printing support, support for a whole lot of formats to save pictures in, support for watching changes to files (open the screenshot externally in gimp, save it – and shutter updates its copy), integration with GVFS (you can upload sites that you’ve connected to via Places â–¸ Connect), better recognition for programs that can open a picture, faster thumbnail creation, and improved dialogs!

Error while resolving dependencies.
Tried to install manually but get same error all the time. To install one package I need the other one, when I try the other one I need something else and so on.
???
Why are you posting in a two year old blog post? You need to provide more information: What distribution are you using? What version of Shutter are you trying to install? What packages did you download and in what order did you try to install them. Please use the contact form in order to send me an email so we don’t clutter the comment section.
# apt-get install shutter
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
libfile-basedir-perl libfile-desktopentry-perl libfile-homedir-perl libfile-mimeinfo-perl libfile-which-perl libgnome2-canvas-perl libgnome2-gconf-perl libgnome2-perl libgnome2-vfs-perl libgnome2-wnck-perl libgtk2-imageview-perl
libgtkimageview0 libproc-simple-perl libsort-naturally-perl libxml-simple-perl perlmagick
Sounds goods. Thx. I note that it requires some gnome and lot of libs…
Limited libs would be great. I would advice to check the libs and dependencies of geany, using too a minimum of dep. for gtk..
Thanks coding for LINUX !!!
Perl packages are usually very small. The quantity shouldn’t really matter here.
Hi,
great program!
But I have a simple problem…
I’m using an tablet PC. And it is really bad, that I have to press enter to make a screenshot.
I would prefer such an mode:
1. Press on the Shutter-icon (or an other icon with parameters for shutter)
2. get an box whit that I can select the part of the screen I want to have
3. After selecting the size shutter should copy the image to the clipboard.
This would be a very fast option to take screenshots.
Is something already possible, or are such features planned?
You will be able to double-click to take a screenshot when you are using one of the “selection tools” in the next version of Shutter (this was already working in earlier versions).
The mode you have described is already possible (except the double-click but you can use the “Simple Selection Tool” > submenu of the selection-button in the toolbar).
1) Hit the tray icon (right-button-click)
2) Select “selection”
3) Choose a region to capture
4) Copy to clipboard can be enabled in Shutter’s preferences
