- Configure shutter to save your screenshot directly intoyour dropbox public folder.
- Place
dropbox-puburl.sh
in the location of your choice (here~/tools/bin/dropbox-puburl.sh
) - Place
dropbox-screenshot-puburl.desktop
into/usr/share/applications
(you need to be root) - Eventually update the path to your Bash script
- exec
sudo update-desktop-database
- Quit and restart shutter. Go into
Preferences > Actions > Open With
and select Dropbox copy public file URL to clipboard - Take a screenshot, a notification should appear with the public url saved in your clipboard
The desktop application will be visible when you right click any JPEG or PNG files, and will also appear in your application drawer. This is required because shutter can only execute an automated application with the right mimetype.
It is not very user-friendly if there is an error. Try to execute the bash script manually by providing the location to one of your Dropbox public files.
