This release adds support for Application Indicators and fixes bugs.

AppIndicator Support

This release adds support for application indicators when running Unity. Thanks to Hans Oesterholt (http://search.cpan.org/~oesterhol/) for creating the needed Perl bindings.

Hint: The indicator disappears temporarily when taking a screenshot. This is not a bug 😉

    $ scrot -s # select area to capture
    $ scrot -d 6 #delay screencap for 6 seconds

    $ scrot -t 20 -d 5

    The above command saves a dated .png file, along with a thumbnail (20% of original), for Web posting. It provides a 5 second delay before capturing in this instance.

    You can also use standard date and time formatting when saving to a file. e.g.,
    $ scrot ~/screenshots/%Y-%m-%d-%T-screenshot.png

    saves the screenshot in a filename with the current year, month, date, hours, minutes, and seconds to a folder in your home directory called “screenshots”

    Hi Romario,

    there are two small issues I have faced with the last shutter release :

    a) When I left-click on Shutter icon on the panel nothing happens (previously shutter main window came up).

    b) When I take a screenshot shutter icon disappears from the panel (this is not the problem) and rises back to the panel but on a very different position (it usually moves to the left several icon positions) … well … this may not look like very big deal … it really isn’t a very big deal … but … from the ergonomy and usability point of view … I think it’s unconfortable. When I login to a user session, I take care to start some applications in a specific order because it’s very confortable and easy to use to have the icons on the panel … always on the same position. In my case, shutter autostarts with the user session … in my case … shutter icon is always in the same position … which is very useful. This has changed with the last shutter release.

    Appart from these small issues … your tool is working as great as always.

    Thank you.

    Ps .- I am running Shutter 0.89 over a Kubuntu Oneiric amd64.

    Hello,

    I’m using Ubuntu Lucid (10.04.4) and facing trouble to install this update.

    In Update-Manager, I am unable to select the package, screen-shot here http://minus.com/l0K26gS0qyl2I

    And Synaptic shows “not installable dependencies”, screen-shot http://minus.com/lbiNtuxX9sQ6tV

    Thanks for any advise.

    Hello!!
    Is there any form to use a bit less memory when I set to start with session with no window? Now, with these settings it uses aprox. 50 Mb of RAM. However, with “indicator-shutter” from owner’ s blog Webupd8 with only 10 Mb was perfect…
    Anyways, thank you for this fantastic app!!!
