Photon,

Thanks for your noble efforts over the years.

I'm not a windows OS fan, but one thing about windows that is sometimes
good, is that you can often take an old exe made for Windows XP and it
will often install and function in latest windows OS.

I guess, in Ubuntu, each new version requires new efforts in packaging.
With shutter,(and for other dying projects), it would be nice if we
could somehow combine all of those dependencies into one large package
called "shutter". People will say that's inefficient, but for me, if
that all-in-one package was 500MB, I'd still install it (because I have
the room, and because I like shutter that much).

Without shutter, I'll have to pipe a ffmpeg screenshot to some less-
simple editor, crop it, edit it, save it, and use filezilla to ftp it,
and then figure out what the URL is on the ftp site, and then send the
link to my recipient. With shutter, all of that could be done in 10
seconds.

I'm no perl guy either. Javascript is my programming language of choice.

In node.js there's a package call desktop-screenshot, and you can
capture a screenshot like this:

var screenshot = require('desktop-screenshot');

screenshot("screenshot.png", function(error, complete) {
    if(error)
        console.log("Screenshot failed", error);
    else
        console.log("Screenshot succeeded");
});

That grabs the whole screen (multiple monitors), and saves it to a file,
but then you still have to crop it, draw on it, save it, ftp it, and
generated the URL.

Shutter accomplished a very quick workflow for all of that; it is not
trivial to match it.
