4 weeks ago In principle, Shutter can be downloaded and run from the unpacked folder without installation. You can even install it on your file system, see https://shutter-project.org/downloads/source-code/
Of course, this way you won't get any updates in the future. You should uninstall the Shutter package to prevent file conflicts and also install the new dependency libmoo-perl.
Regarding your second question, this is #187 and currently there is no fix for this. There is a draft PR which you could test if you are curious, but, as it is a draft, it might be not completely usable yet: #667
How could I update the Shutter 0.99.2-4 which is included in the ZorinOS APT software 'store'. I am trying to see if there is a way to get the newer/newest 0.99.5-1 which is referred to on the Shutter Releases page. Zorin 17 (released 12/2023) is based on Ubuntu LTS 22.04 FYI. I installed Shutter 0.99.2-4 from the Zorin APT store and that is the only version/repo source listed. Ubuntu Shutter releases all show 0.99.2-4 for both LTS 22 and LTS 24. There is a single reference to 0.99.5-1 for "Oracular" which I am guessing is the next, in-dev version of Ubuntu. Is there a way for me to update Shutter on my Zorin 17.1 to this newer Shutter? Will it be a better user experience?
And, 2.) Currently, when I use Shutter, it will only take a full DESKTOP screenshot. the "Selection" menubar item is grayed-out, and offers the tool-tip of: "Can't take screenshots without X11 server". If I am able to update Shutter to v 0.99.5-1, will it be better? Or is there some other step I need to take to have Shutter be more functional?
