Bug Description
I'm very happy with shutter, but it has one shortcoming I would like corrected. This applies when using shutter in "png - PNG" mode, but I think the mode doesn't matter:
Using other apps (e. g., code-browser), I can perform work leading to the use of shutter; but, even if shutter was invoked earlier, when I run shutter "File/New Selection", the newly selected picture name ALWAYS is lost: Instead, after the selection, if I do shutter "File/Save As ...", I get a data list of "Selection_
Shortcoming: If I already have selected a file before going to the running copy of shutter, I always have to find and copy the file name again from another app (e. g., code-browser) and then paste it into the shutter data list.
Instead of defaulting to "Selection_
Perhaps shutter could display TWO "File/Save As ..." choices in the same window: One just as now, and the other showing my saved file name .png? I click to choose -- which is much faster than going to code-browser to copy the file name again.
In Shutter's settings ("General" tab) you can set a pattern for the file names of new screenshots (hover the text field there to get a tooltip with information on available wildcards).
If this is not what you want: I didn't quite understand where Shutter should get the file name of a newly created screenshot from, could you please elaborate on this?
