Shutter

The feature-rich screenshot tool

About

Shutter is a feature-rich screenshot program for Linux based operating systems such as Ubuntu. You can take a screenshot of a specific area, window, your whole screen, or even of a website – apply different effects to it, draw on it to highlight points, and then upload to an image hosting site, all within one window. Shutter is free, open-source, and licensed under GPL v3.

Capture

Shutter allows you to capture nearly anything on your screen without loosing control over your screenshots (tabbed interface). Here is an overview of what you can do with Shutter:

• Capture a Specific Area
  This allows you to select an arbitrary region of your screen and capture only those parts you really need. The screen can be zoomed and the selection can be resized or moved.
• Capture your Desktop
  Shutter does not only capture all the contents of your desktop (or workspace) – it also supports Multi-monitor settings, e.g. capture the active monitor
• Capture a Window
  Simply use your mouse to select the window you want to capture. Shutter will highlight the currently select window in an attractive and useful way. It is even possible to simply select a window from a list and capture it right a way.
• Capture a Menu or Tooltip
  Capturing menus or tooltips is very easy with Shutter. You select one of the options and a (user-defined) countdown starts. During this time you can open the desired menu or let a specific tooltip come up. Shutter will recognize and capture it.
• Capture a Website
  Shutter uses gnome-web-photo to capture a website without opening a browser window

Especially if you are taking screenshots for writing tutorials or manuals you need to edit the image, e.g. highlighting some part of it. With Shutter you don’t need to open an external graphics editor like GIMP, because Shutter ships with its own built-in editor. Here are some of the most important features:

• Add Text, Arrows, Rectangles, Ellipses…
  The built-in editor allows you to add primitives (e.g. rectangles, lines etc.) , arrows or text to your screenshot. Every shape can be customized by changing the color, fonts and/or the line width.
• Censor / Pixelize to Hide Private Data
  Don’t want to show sensitive data like IP or e-Mail addresses? Shutter gives you two simple but effective tools to hide this data.
• Auto-Increment Shape
  When writing a step-by-step guide people often add incremental digits to the screenshots (usually via text). Shutter offers a specific auto-increment shape that can be added to the screenshot. It cannot be easier!
• Crop
  The built-in editor also includes a tool to crop your screenshot. Simply select a region with your mouse or enter the desired dimensions into the input fields.

Share

We all spend much of our time in forums, wikis, chats etc. From time to time we need to do some screenshots and upload them so we can share them with other people.

• Share easily
  Shutter has a built-in function to upload your screenshot with nice link-formatting so you can post the generated link directly in the forum, wiki etc.

Plugins

Shutter ships with a great variety of plugins that allow you to add impressive effects to your screenshots.

• Give Unique Look to Your Screenshots
  A picture is worth a thousand words.

Enable Edit Button in Shutter In Linux Mint 19 and Ubuntu 18.04

Last updated on July 27, 2020

Shutter is a screen capturing software. It allows you to take screenshot of a specific area, window and even the entire screen.

Shutter also comes with a few editing tools, however these tools are not enabled by default. To enable these tools we’ll have to install some additional packages.

All the instructions mentioned in this post is tested on Linux Mint 19 and Ubuntu 18.04.

Enabling the Edit button #

As you can see in the above image the Edit button is disabled. To enable the Edit button, you need following three packages:

1. libgoo-canvas-perl
2. libgoocanvas-common
3. libgoocanvas3

We can download these packages from the following links:

If you prefer command line, you can download all these packages via the wget command as follows:

Once you have downloaded all the necessary packages, install them using the following command:

Now kill any any running instance of Shutter and then start it again.

You should now have Edit button enabled.

Enabling Edit button on Linux Mint 17, 18 or Ubuntu 16.04 #

To enable Edit button on Linux Mint 17, 18 or Ubuntu 16.04, the fix is comparatively simple. All you need to do is install libgoo-canvas-perl using the following command:

Enabling the Web button #

Just like the Edit button, the Web button is also disabled by default. The Web button allows us to take a screenshot of a website by providing a URL.

To enable the Web button we’ll need a package called gnome-web-photo . Download gnome-web-photo from the following link: [

Or simply, execute the following command to download the gnome-web-photo package.

Once the package is downloaded install it by typing:

Kill any running instance of Shutter and start the application again. The Web button should be enabled now.

Restart the shutter and now you should be able to take screenshots of websites.

Next, we will see how to enable the Web button on shutter.

Enabling the Web button on Linux Mint 17, 18 or Ubuntu 16.04 #

To install gnome-web-photo on Linux Mint 17, 18 or Ubuntu 17.06, simply execute the following command:

That’s all there is to it.

Let’s us know how this tip worked out for you in comments.

Установка Shutter в Ubuntu

Shutter — одна из самых популярных программ для создания снимков экрана в Linux, несмотря на существование других более интересных аналогов. С помощью Shutter вы можете не только делать снимки экрана, но и тут же их редактировать, например, добавлять стрелки, текст, а также менять размер изображения.

Ещё одна очень полезная возможность Shutter это поддержка создания снимков с задержкой, так можно заснять контекстное меню или какое-нибудь всплывающее уведомление. Долгое время разработка программы была заброшена, однако в августе 2021 официальная поддержка была возобновлена. В частности, была добавлена поддержка для операционных систем Ubuntu 20.04 и Ubuntu 21.04.

Установка Shutter в Ubuntu 20.04

Несмотря на то, что поддержка программы была возобновлена, в официальных репозиториях Ubuntu программа отсутствует. Для установки необходимо подключить официальный репозиторий от разработчиков. В этой статье мы разберемся как установить Shutter в Ubuntu 20.04 при помощи PPA. Чтобы добавить PPA в систему откройте терминал и выполните команду:

sudo add -apt-repository ppa:shutter/ppa

При появлении текста с подробным описанием данного репозитория нажмите на клавишу Enter что добавить репозиторий в систему.
Больше нет необходимости обновлять списки пакетов, репозитории обновляются автоматически при добавлении нового PPA. Далее выполните команду для установки программы:

sudo apt -y install shutter

После установки Shutter вы сможете пользоваться программой для создания снимков экрана. Вы можете найти её в главном меню.

Удаление Shutter

Чтобы удалить Shutter из системы используйте команду:

sudo apt -y remove shutter

Далее удалите PPA из системы:

sudo add-apt-repository —remove ppa:shutter/ppa

Выводы

Теперь вы знаете как выполняется установка Shutter в Ubuntu 20.04. Это отличный инструмент для создания снимков экрана. На данный момент поддержка программы возобновлена, что позволяет полноценно пользоваться программой и ожидать исправления и добавление новой функциональности.

Shutter ��� linux mint

Very helpful tool. I could not install it from the Software Manager. This information was helpful: https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/10/shutter-removed-from-ubuntu-1810-and.html

Stupid useless tool even not able to add a key

It needs temporary to be installed with adding a PPA : https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/10/shutter-removed-from-ubuntu-1810-and.html

Very nice software. Quick and intuitive.

Без редактора, абсолютно бесполезная ерунда

This is a really well thought through program. I use it every day in my work.

Icon often appears as a blank space when minimized to the system tray. Otherwise it’s a great app!

Very nice screenshot application. Currently the edit option is not working for me. I am using flameshot instead

Complet et facile, super ! Fitful & easy, awesome !!

I’ve tried the majority of SS programs and shutter is the most feature rich. Highly recommended! Be nice to allocate keybindings though otherwise it would have been a 5 star review baby.

Binding to a keystroke using —active parameter to a key results in «No window with name pattern ‘shutter’ detected» after one run. Everything else works ok.

It’s not Skitch, but it’s pretty cool. To edit you need to install additional stuff, but that’s pretty easy. I use it several times per month and it hasn’t busted anything. 🙂 I decided to write this review to encourage development and help others find a good solution. Thanks. 🙂
