@Badcam This is not possible and not planned currently - maybe when I have more time during semester break.

Awesome program!

Could you please advise:

Is it possible to start the Shutter Drawing Tool programme on it’s own? What’s its name?
I’d like to make it my default photo editor as it contains everything I need for altering pictures. Is this possible?

Thanks.

Dee :
When I try to do that, the Screenshot->Edit is greyed out so I cannot do it. Also, I don’t see any buttons on the left. Am I missing something? Thanks!

You have to install the following package: libgoo-canvas-perl If you are using Ubuntu (via terminal): sudo apt-get install libgoo-canvas-perl

Vadim : You can already do that! Try Screenshot ▸ Edit. To add highlights, use the buttons on the left, and to add arrows, see and insert image button on the bottom-right.

How can you get shutter to not save files automatically? e.g. when you just want to crop a printscreen and then paste into a document?

@ad
Configuring the keybindings in Shutter’s preferences dialog does only work with Gnome. You have to configure the keybindings manually for your desktop environment.

You might want to check this page to get an idea about it (especially the KDE section):
http://shutter-project.org/faq-help/set-shutter-as-the-default-screenshot-tool/

I don’t know how keybindings work with openbox or dwm, but you might want to try xbindkeys:

Romario : @Tim
Tim : I get allways this error gtk-message: failed to retrieve porperty `GtkTreeView::odd-row-color’ of type `GdkColor# from rc file value ”((GString*) 0×973e340)” of type ‘ GString’ Load timed out; consider using -force or increaseing the timeout (use 0 for no timeout)
The first message is not an error caused by Shutter – looks like a problem with your current theme. But this has nothing to do with the web-capture. Shutter uses gnome-web-photo (a command line utility) to capture webpages. In newer versions there seem to be some problems with sites that are using JavaScript (nearly every site does this nowadays).

Thank you Romario, I saw that Shutter uses gnome-web-photo and tried to compile but stuck. The first error above, I get only with Shutter/gnome-web-photo. Have to look its compiz&theme&gnome&whatever Thanks

Due to the fact that we are not the developers of gnome-web-photo there is not much we can do here - we have to wait until the bugs in gnome-web-photo get fixed.

@Ilya
If you are using Gnome you should be able to edit the “Open with” list in Nautilus, see:
http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/50869/screenshots___datei_browser_001_3Cv4f3.png

But there are still some minor problems related to the “Open with” list:

Really nice tool (“Menu” capture is really useful), but it is unable to add application to “Open with” list. If, for example, I’d like to use gpaint instead of GIMP – how can I to configure that?

@Andi
1) This is already implemented in the latest development version of Shutter and will be released with the next version (0.85).
https://bugs.launchpad.net/shutter/+bug/350660

2) You can simply configure a custom keyboard shortcut. If you are using GNOME you can use gnome-keybinding-properties to do this, look here:
http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/28813/custom_keyboard_shortcuts_vTy5xL.png

See `man shutter` via terminal to have a look at all possible capture options: –full, –window etc.

Hey,
let me say, Shutter is the best screenshot tool for Linux, I found so far. But as I use WinSnap in Windows, i am missing something in Shutter. Maybe someone can help me here:
1) Don’t show the main window after any kind of screenshot is taken. Most of the time I use screenshots via clipboard, so I don’t need the main window opening after taking a screenshot. Is this possible?
2) Currently there are only two shortcuts available for screenshot actions. I could use at least three. Capture screen, capture window and capture custom selection. Any ideas?

Best regards
Andi

Love Shutter – but I would like it more if I had an option to NOT display the shutter window even after I take the screen shot — 99% of the time, I just paste the clipboard directly into an email – I don’t want or need the shutter window to show up and take the focus. Possible?

vmarquez : Hi! I can not find how to capture with scroll (i.e. including the areas of a document/page currently hidden because it is larger than application’s window). Thanks a lot in advance.

That's exactly what I needed... hopefully you can get it soon, I think that's what makes SnagIt so good in Windows, even without this feature you have done a very good application, thanks a lot
