For Ubuntu 22.04\/23.10, Fedora & other Linux with Wayland, Shutter screenshot tool can finally take screenshots for selected area and app windows!<\/b><\/p>\n

Shutter is (or was) an excellent feature rich screenshot tool, with image editing and uploading support.<\/p>\n

It was one of my top favorite apps, but removed from Ubuntu repositories due to lack of maintenance. Though, it’s later added back to system repository, thanks to open-source community’s work by porting it to GTK3.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sadly, the development of Shutter project<\/a> is slowing down, and many features do NOT work in Ubuntu 22.04 + with default Wayland session, include capturing selection area and app window. And, it even refuses to launch in Ubuntu 23.10.<\/p>\n

For lovers of Shutter screenshot tool, besides switching back to classic Xorg session, there’s now an open-source fork<\/a> to make the screenshotting features work on Wayland.<\/p>\n

“this thing that Shutter does not work on Wayland started to bother me “a lot” and so I decided to invest some time to resolve this question the base idea was to leverage gnome-screenshot command line utility while maintaining the very same user interface and behavior.<\/i>“<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And, there’s a Youtube video about the Shutter on Wayland:
