Opinion wanted > Ksnapshot or shutter
« on: February 16, 2012, 06:21:45 PM »
I would like to know which would be the best, ksnapshot or shutter.
Or are they both same in daily use.

I searched a little, but info found was dated, so...
I am actually not using them , so I have no experience at all with either

I am setting up pclos for a newbie, and don't want to make the wrong choice.
(( and don't have enough time to play with them either, at least not right now ))

Short answers are welcome  ;D ;D

Thanks

Never used shutter, but Ksnapshot works nicely and I have no reason to look elsewhere.    --doug

To install shutter you also have to install many dependencies.  I installed it once when I couldn't work out an issue with ksnapshot.  Shutter didn't solve the problem so I removed it and its numerous depencies.

If you're using KDE, KSnapshot is a good choice. If you have special needs, look further, e.g. recordmydesktop.
All that is is good. PCLinuxOS is.
