Add "crop tool" to drawing tool

[Mario Kemper (Romario)]

Needs to be done.

Thanks to Marcos A.T. Silva for this idea.

I know this bad habit, but I want to add "me too" to this wish. This is the last feature missing currently in shutter to make it my general purpose screen-shot and documentation tool. This is especially useful when context-menus need to be captured in a window, which is difficult when mouse is also used for window selection - then it's easier to capture the whole desktop when ready and crop it afterwards.

Thank you.

We don't consider it bad habit here to express interest in something :)

It's targetted for 0.80 release where we will be improving the drawing tool.

[Mario Kemper (Romario) (mario-kemper)]

Any examples how this should work?

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

Ala advanced selection - select an area and crop

[Mario Kemper (Romario) (mario-kemper)]

Like the crop tool of gthumb (see attachment)?

Integrated in the Drawing Tool or as a separated dialog that you can call from the main menu of Shutter?

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

Yeah like gthumbs, integrated into the drawingtool

I would prefer, it would look more like the already available rectangle drawing tool, which is resizable. Then, when adjustment is completeted, the cropping is finished with an crop action icon. As another example you can have a look at gimps selection tool.
