In Ubuntu 20.04 (at least my upgraded system) there is now a default screenshot tool, blue icon with some dots ... which I actually really like!

I have had trouble with Shutter already before the upgrade, and am looking for a way to very directly edit a screenshot after taking it with this new cool default tool ― just a lightweight image editor for cropping and pixelizing areas, like the one that Shutter used to integrate with. Do you have a quick recipe for how to integrate any such tool into the default screenshot tool?

Or a standalone such lightweight tool that starts quickly when launched?

With Shutter there was a great screenshot editor integrated, but it took a whole procedure to setup, and (maybe in my own fault) Shutter stopped working cleanly for me at some point.

Thanks!!

    Does this answer your question? From Screenshot to "edit Image". Check out the application mentioned in the accepted answer other that Shutter. It's called "Flameshot", it's lightweight and quite popular nowadays. – pomsky Jun 29 '20 at 20:11
  • @pomsky does Flameshot allow editing of existing images? – DK Bose Jun 30 '20 at 02:14

    @DKBose Probably not, given that it's a dedicated screenshot tool. – pomsky Jun 30 '20 at 13:04
  • @pomsky thanks. they suggest Shutter. I think there was a nightmare procedure to setup or fix-up its image editor integration last I tried after updates / upgrade. Maybe I'll try again, if it's not integrated elegantly in the 20.04 native gnome screenshot tool. – matanox Jul 01 '20 at 15:01

  • As for shutter, this Ubuntu 20.04 oriented blog post seems to imply you might get a sane setup of Shutter installed using a snap: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2020/07/install-shutter-on-ubuntu-20-04-snap – matanox Jul 05 '20 at 19:59
  • There's also a Shutter PPA which enables all Shutter plugins: https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/10/shutter-removed-from-ubuntu-1810-and.html – Logix Nov 16 '20 at 21:24
