Great!! Nice job. Doesn’t look like there is an option to capture web pages from a script. I would LOVE that.
There is! Shutter makes use of the gnome-web-photo program for this capability.
Hi,
really nice tool & usefull, I love it.
just a question, is it possible to save all captures in a same folder ?
thx,
@milouse
Sure, this is already the default setup. You can configure any possible directory in the preferences dialog, see:

This is SWEET! Mighty fine job.
I’m a newbie with all Linux,running linuxmint8 currently. This dropped right in just like you said it would. Theres no stopping me now.
Thanks
Thank you! Nice work. Fits nearly perfect to my wishes, except one: After using my configured hotkey (Pause) shutter makes the capture and saves it to disk and then does one thing that I don’t like: a window of shutter pops up. I would like to get an option for shutter that it will work completeley without any popping up windows or messages, Shutter should just react on hotkey in saving the capture and doing nothung more,
@delcour
There already is such an option, see:

It would be nice if it would work like the Windows Printkey2000. It uses the “Print Screen” key by default, and one can print directly to a printer, as well as save it as a picture.
@DaveK
What especially do you miss? Shutter can be used with hotkeys and it can print. Direct printing?
