If you want to upload to something other than Flickr, check out IFTTT and use Flickr as the intermediate step. That is, enable the Flickr channel and the channel where you want your photo (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc.), and create a new recipe using the “new public photo tagged” Flickr trigger. Tag your new screenshots onto Flickr consistently, of course, to match the IFTTT recipe… perhaps: #sharescreen (or something).

Thanks for letting us know but you don’t longer need our custom packages. Simply install postr with Ubuntu Software Centre. I’ve removed the links accordingly.

For uploading pics directly from your desktop to flickr, I can recommend you click.to http://www.clicktoapp.com
Just press STRG C and one click and you picture is in flickr. It’s a freeware product.

@Doug Whitfield
You need to check postr’s .desktop file. Usually its path is: /usr/share/applications/postr.desktop
There are several key/value pairs in the file. You need to check if there is a ‘MimeType’ key and the related values. In the latest version of ubuntu the values look like this:

——snip—–
MimeType=image/bmp;image/gif;image/x-fits;image/pcx;image/x-portable-anymap;image/x-portable-bitmap;image/x-portable-graymap;image/x-portable-pixmap;image/x-sgi;image/x-tga;image/x-xbitmap;image/x-xwindowdump;image/tiff;image/jpeg;image/x-psd;image/png;image/x-icon;image/x-xpixmap;image/svg+xml;
——snip—–

As you can see ‘image/png’ is listed here. If there is no such value you need to add it (and execute ‘update-desktop-database’ via terminal with root privileges afterwards).

Shutter uses a gnome library to access those .desktop files and list all applications that are registered to a specific mime-type. There is no way to edit the list manually (usually you should not need it).

The reason why I asked if you are using ubuntu or not: The postr package in older versions of ubuntu was broken (no ‘MimeType’ key provided in the .desktop file).

Regards
Mario

@vadim it’s still pretty clear you do not understand what I’m asking. The instructions for what I am asking about are emphatically not on this page. As I mentioned before, the instructions on this page are for sending pictures to postr, if it is on your list. These instructions are quite good for that! Below I have linked to a screenshot to prove postr does NOT show up in the list. You can see that I uploaded the picture using postr, so it is not a problem with postr.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/dawhitfield/4409190745/

So, I will repeat my question for clarity. How do I edit the list of programs to which Shutter will send pictures?

I do know the answer and I do know what you’re asking… and I already answered.

Lets make this clear because you don’t seem to get it: follow the instructions, uploading to flickr works. These are complete instructions. You do not need to edit the list, because the list is auto-generated. That is why that part is missing.

So, I do know what I’m talking about, and if it’s not working for you in Fedora, then that’s unfortunate, because the following instructions haven’t been tested. I asked to confirm that you are using the instructions for any of the listed distros here, instead you ask how to edit the list. It’s nice to be smart, but it’s even nicer to help people trying to help you.

@vadim no, the instructions are how to upload if Postr is already on the list. I am asking how to edit the list. Please stop responding to my questions if you don’t know the answers or what I’m asking…or at least ask for clarification. I appreciate your attempts to help, but you aren’t and you are wasting both of our time.

The instructions are right here on this page.

Are you doing this in Ubuntu and it’s not working as intended?
