πŸ¦‹ NAME πŸ¦‹

shutterbug β€” a screen snapshot application πŸ“Έβœ¨


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

shutterbug

that's literally it. no flags, no arguments, no drama. she just exists and that's her whole thing πŸ’…


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Shutterbug is a simple screen snapshot application, and no cap, she was inspired by SGI Snapshot πŸŽ€ iconic lineage, we love to see it.

The user interface of Shutterbug is a single, unobtrusive icon. that's the whole UI. one little guy. and every single function in Shutterbug gets invoked by right-clicking on that icon, which brings up a popup menu 🌈 like a little menu surprise party.

oh and also? a red rectangle is out here identifying the area of the screen being captured. she's always watching πŸ‘€


πŸ”₯ IDENTIFYING THE SCREEN AREA πŸ”₯

so the screen capture area is identified by a red rectangle. periodt. here's how you move her around:

  • you can move the capture area by right-mouse dragging πŸ–±οΈ
  • or by holding the shift- or control key while doing a left-mouse dragging
  • you can change the size of the rectangle by dragging on one of the four sides or on the corners πŸŽ€

The capture area can also be set to a predefined, fixed size. and bestie, in that case? the rectangle cannot be resized, only dragged to a specific position. she's locked in. no take-backsies. πŸ”’


πŸ’œ INVOKING COMMANDS πŸ’œ

to invoke the menu, right-click on the Shutterbug application icon. that's the whole ritual, bestie 🫢

  • Snap β€” this command snaps a screen shot and brings up the file panel to save the image to file. the moment of truth πŸ“Έ
  • Show Lasso β€” this command hides the red lasso identifying the capture area. she's shy, let her hide πŸ™ˆ
  • Size β€” brings up a submenu with a number of predefined capture area sizes. selecting Custom will enable arbitrary capture area selection. build-a-rectangle workshop ✨
  • Weight β€” this submenu can be used to change the line width of the capture area lasso rectangle. thick lasso, thin lasso, she contains multitudes πŸ’…
  • Lines inside β€” causes the lines to be inside, rather than outside, the capture area rectangle. and ngl this can be more accurate for small images πŸ‘‘
  • Color β€” brings up the Color Dialog to change the color of the lasso rectangle. the default color is red πŸ“
  • About β€” pops up the About Dialog which gives the version number and other information about Shutterbug. lore drop 🌈
  • Quit β€” terminates the program. bye bestie 😭
