The workflow of Shutter is quite simple:

  1. Add events that are to be monitored, and
  2. Add actions that are to be executed when the specified events occur.

The details are as follows:

Step 1: Events

Events are usually based on periodic checking of a system state, execution state of a process, or system time.

  • You can add multiple events, and also set the logical relationship between them.

Step 2: Actions

Actions are executed one by one, from top to bottom.

You can add as many actions as you want, but please be aware of the following factors:

  • Each action can affect the execution of the other actions listed below it.
  • Some of these actions are terminal.
    (They will cause Shutter to stop processing the rest of actions or terminate application altogether. For example: the Shutdown action.)
    Therefore, such Actions must be placed at the very end of the Actions stack.
