Application Indicator for Shutter

Looking through the list of application indicators, I see screenshots that appear to have a Shutter indicator. Where can I find & install this?

Until they get perl bindings for app indicator, you can whitelist Shutter systray as per the one-line command posted in this question,

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "$(gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist | sed -e "s/]$/, 'shutter']/")"

GUI Editor method

1. Install dconf-tools

2. Open dconf-editor

   Run Command Alt+F2 and type dconf-editor

3. Navigate to desktop => unity => panel

   

4. Add the text ,'shutter' to the end of the list (inside the square bracket).

5. Close dconf-editor and restart Unity (Run Command Alt+F2 and type unity)

Shutter doesn't have an indicator because there are no indicator bindings for Perl.

Instead I keep shutter on my launcher and just use the quicklists to do take fast screenshots:

Andrei from WebUpd8 has written an application indicator for Shutter. It isn't perfect, but you should find it satisfactory. It works in 11.04 and 11.10.

To install it:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-shutter

Or:

• Add ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 to your software sources.
• Refresh the sources.

• Install indicator-shutter <--- by clicking on this icon or running

  sudo apt-get install indicator-shutter
  

Instructions taken from here.

There is - at least - an official solution with Shutter 0.89, available in Shutter PPA.

To get the official Shutter indicator, you will need to add and upgrade/install from the official stable Shutter PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:shutter/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install shutter
