Shutter Screenshot Tool May Soon Make its Re-entry to the Ubuntu Repository
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
Only a few months back, [Shutter had its first major release in years][1] getting rid of the old libraries and dependencies.
|
||
|
||
Now, with a new 0.96 update, Shutter is prepping to make its way to the Ubuntu universe repository and other Linux distro repositories.
|
||
|
||
In case you did not know, Shutter was removed from the main Ubuntu repository and some other repos because outdated Gnome 2 libraries were dropped as well. Considering it is one of the best ways to [take a screenshot in Linux][2], Shutter getting back to repositories will be a good thing.
|
||
|
||
### Shutter 0.96 Release: What’s New?
|
||
|
||
With the latest 0.96 version release, Shutter aims to drop dependency on GTK 2 so that it could work just fine when included in the main Ubuntu repository.
|
||
|
||
Of course, [GTK 4][3] is the latest release that comes with GNOME 40, that will take a while for all Linux distros to adopt with their next upgrade.
|
||
|
||
However, Shutter 0.96 has managed to include **GTK 3 support**, better late than never.
|
||
|
||
With GTK 3 support onboard, it now relies on new dependencies that are present in the Ubuntu repositories. As per the [announcement][4], here’s a list of them:
|
||
|
||
* Gtk3
|
||
* Gtk3::ImageView >= 9
|
||
* GooCanvas2
|
||
* GooCanvas2::CairoTypes
|
||
* Pango
|
||
* libwnck-3
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
It is worth noting that while goocanvas was an optional dependency for older releases, goocanvas2 is essentially needed for it to work.
|
||
|
||
In case you’re curious about what’s gone, here’s a list for that:
|
||
|
||
* Gtk2
|
||
* Gtk2::ImageView
|
||
* Gtk2::Unique
|
||
* Gtk2::AppIndicator
|
||
* Gnome2::Wnck
|
||
* Goo::Canvas
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Unfortunately, there are no significant feature additions with this release. In fact, a feature has been removed as per the announcement:
|
||
|
||
> The feature of taking a section of window is removed (or, rather, commented out), because it didn’t work with the way how modern Qt and Gtk were drawing their windows anyway.
|
||
|
||
It makes sense while it wasn’t the most used option for many users, I assume.
|
||
|
||
Also, there a few pointers mentioned in the release notes for potential issues which you can explore more about in their [GitHub page][5]:
|
||
|
||
* Multiple screens might or might not be broken
|
||
* HiDPI screens might do screenshot of a nested menu in a wrong place

|
||
### Wrapping Up
|
||
|
||
While this is not entirely an exciting release for the users, the support for GTK 3 should help make Shutter available in the main Ubuntu repository.
|
||
|
||
Until then, you may have to rely on Linux Uprising’s PPA to get the latest release. It should be also available via [AUR][7] for Arch Linux users.
