Add ability to choose to which Dropbox folder screenshots are uploaded

[Rafał Cieślak]

Currently Shutter just puts screenshots to Public, which is not exactly what I'd like to see. It'd be awesome if I could make Shutter upload those screenshots to Public/screenshots or something like that.

Also possibly related, the public screenshots are sequentially numbered by default. This is expected behavior , as they are named the default "Selection_XXX" . However, it could easy catch someone by surprise as a security risk.

I've started renaming files uploaded to dropbox using F2 or Screenshot -> Rename , but I think it'd be sweet if files uploaded to public dropbox had a random string appended by default.

Could you explain the security risk part for the non-informed? These are
screenshots, and you have things like timestamps already that could help
inform you of their order.

The default filename is currently "Selection_%NNN" , where %NNN is a sequential counter. If I upload a link to a screenshot to a public forum, and it is easy to guess a link to another screenshot by changing the number at the end. ( Selection_005.png implies Selection_004 and eventually Selection_006 ) . Since I use the program for both personal and public purposes -- this could cause a personal screenshot to be easily guessed !

As it turns out, it is easily possible to add a random number to the end of the filenames in preferences , under main -> filename , by using $R, described as follows :

$R = random char (e.g. $RRRR = ag4r)

Thus the following has 3 random characters in the filename... perfect!

screenshot-%NNN-$RRR

I'd still support the ability to upload into a folder, feel free to ignore the whole security / random character thing.

I would definitely like to be able to choose the destination folder on Dropbox.
