Shutter screenshot tool for windows windows#
Now you can resize the windows you want to capture automatically. when you are writing for a blog or magazine and you have to respect the existing layout.īy using this feature you don’t have to scale you images afterwards (and thus losing quality). This is very useful when you want to fit all images to a specific width or height (or both!), e.g. The related tooltip explains the needed steps when you want to overwrite the default values, but Shutter also comes with good working default values (at least for standard themes).Īutomatically resize windows before captureĪ “new-to-the-world” feature is Shutter’s capability of resizing window to a specific size before capturing – and restoring the initial size afterwards. When this option is activated Shutter uses fixed parameters to round the window corners. You can overwrite the default parameters by creating a file named ~/.shutter/nf and put custom values in it. There is no real solution to the problem because Compiz works different than traditional window managers like Metacity, but Shutter offers a nice and flexible workaround now: Users that are running Compiz (Desktop Effects) know the problem: You are using a nice theme with shaped window corners, but no screenshot taking application is taking this into account. Capture the last active windowĪ feature that was missing for a long time was the ability to capture the last active window.
You might also want to have a look at the new man page where all available parameters are explained. Some more examples are demonstrated in this video: Please keep in mind that this is only a small subset of all available options. You can capture a specific window by searching for a title (regular expressions supported):Īnother example is to capture a specific region of the screen: Hence, it is now very easy to use Shutter in a bash script or to make extended use of keybindings. This brings many advantages to the user for example, an already running instance of Shutter will be opened when opening a file with Shutter in your file browser:Īdditionally it is now possible to send messages to an already running instance of Shutter. In order to avoid this behaviour, Shutter now uses LibUnique – a library for writing single instance applications. In the past many users have mentioned the fact that it was possible to open more than one instance of Shutter.
Shutter is unique! Yeah…what does unique mean?
Most of the changes are not visible to users, but there are still a lot of awesome new features that are worth mentioning. We are happy to announce the release of Shutter 0.87. Posted by Romario on in Blog, release | 11 comments
