Shutter 0.87 Can Capture Rounded Window Corners, Export To Postscript, Automatically Resize Windows And Much More

Shutter, an amazing, dare I say "the best" Linux screenshot tool was updated to version 0.87 today, getting lots of new features:

• Shutter now uses Libunique so you can only run one Shutter instance
• capture last active window
• Shutter can now capture rounded window corners when running Compiz. You can overwrite the default parameters by creating a file named ~/.shutter/shape.conf and put custom values in it
• automatically resize windows before capture and restore them once Shutter takes the screenshot. This is useful when you want to fit all images to a specific width / height.
• export files to PostScript
• if Shutter is cluttering your home folder, there is now an option you can use so that Shutter doesn't automatically save the screenshots to disk
• EXIF orientation flag is now supported
• you can now send messages to an already running Shutter instance. For example, you can run "shutter –window=.*firefox.*" from the terminal and Shutter will search for the Firefox window and take a screenshot

These are only the most important features in the latest Shutter 0.87. Check out the Shutter 0.87 release announcement for more info.
