Gnome screenshot (available on for example Ubuntu) lets you take a screenshot of a portion of the screen that you choose yourself (so, like taking a full screenshot and then cropping). In unity, you can press Dash, start typing screenshot and then you can choose 'choose portion' or something from the menu.
(I think the command line argument is `gnome-screenshot -a`.)
I agree that just pressing printscreen and then cropping in Gimp is a pain! Really, the less I have to use Gimp for simple editing, the happier I am.
- pmontra 12y agoI just tried gnome-screenshot, which I didn't know about. It fails with an error after capturing an image because it seems it needs the gnome shell and I don't have it (nor unity) but from the man page it seems it's more or less functionally equivalent to shutter. There are two nice things with shutter: 1) the icon that sits in the notification area (or whatever it is called in a given DE) 2) the list of all the previous screenshots taken. They come in handy for those days when I have to capture dozen of images.
