Public bug reported:
In 2006, when I still used windows, there was really good screen capture
software called Snagit:
http://www.techsmith.com/snagit.html
What I really liked about this program, is that it every time you'd hit
the prt-sc button, it would automatically save that screenshot into a
folder in one step (just hitting the print-screen button).
Shutter does a good job of saving screenshot into a folder, but it is
not as easy as just hitting the print-screen button. Instead, it is kind
of like an old camera not capable of taking pictures in rapid
succession. You can only take screen shots as fast as you can navigate
its indicator/applet (and you have to selected the capture area each
time).
I specifically need this for presentations shown to me via online
meetings. I have a two monitor setup, and I'll be watching a
presentation on my 2nd monitor. Each time the presenter performs a step
that I need to remember, I want to hit a button and capture a
screenshot, (without anything jumping up in my face; I just want the
screen shot to be saved into a folder without prompting me). Sometimes I
need to take 5 screenshots in a span of 10 seconds.
I wish shutter had an option that would allow me to tell it: "each time
I hit the print screen button, capture this selected area and do not
show your gui upon doing this".
This would allow me to take screenshots rapidly, as quickly as I hit the
print screen button, and the exact area I want to capture is captured
and put into a folder with sequentially named filenames, and without
prompting anything in front of the virtual presentation I'm watching.
I wish I could set the default area to be captured and tie that action
to a hot-key. So that, until I tell shutter otherwise, it will capture
that particular capture area as rapidly as I hit the hotkey.
Snagit was really good at doing this, an shutter is so feature rich but
seems to be missing this capability of Rapidly capturing screen-shots
and saving them without a dialog interruption.
The shutter developers have done an excellent job. I hope they'll
consider adding this killer feature.
