Shutter (previously known as GScrot) is a simple GTK+ 2.0 frontend for scrot, written in Perl. It covers all features of the original scrot and adds reasonable new features combined with a comfortable GUI using the GTK 2.0 framework.

Here are some key features of "Shutter":

· take a screenshot of your complete desktop, a rectangular area or capture a website
· take screenshot directly or with a specified delay time
· save the screenshots to a specified directory and name them in a convenient way (using special wild-cards)
· GScrot is fully integrated into the Gnome Desktop (TrayIcon etc.)
· generate thumbnails directly when you are taking a screenshot and set a size level in %
· GScrot session collection
· keep track of all screenshots during session
· copy screeners to clipboard
· print screenshots
· delete screenshots
· rename your file
· upload your files directly to Image-Hosters (e.g. http://ubuntu-pics.de), retrieve all the needed links and share them with others
· edit your screenshots directly using the embedded drawing tool
