Actions
TODO: Document all actions.
Actions allow you to execute various workflows.
Remember that you can stack up multiple actions and they will be executed one by one, from top to bottom.
Be aware that certain actions are terminal actions, meaning that they may cause Shutter to terminate or otherwise stop the rest of actions from executing. You can use only one terminal action, and it must be the last in the list of actions.
Shutdown
Shutdown the computer.
You can force applications to close upon shutdown. This option is required if you want to shutdown a computer in a locked state or want to prevent applications from cancelling a shutdown sequence.
You can request supported applications to automatically restart on reboot. This only works for applications that explicitly support the "Restart apps" Windows feature.
Reboot
Reboot the computer.
You can force applications to close upon reboot. This option is required if you want to reboot a computer in a locked state or want to prevent applications from cancelling a reboot sequence.
You can request supported applications to automatically restart on reboot. This only works for applications that explicitly support the "Restart apps" Windows feature.
Logoff
Log out (sign out) the currently logged in user.
You can force applications to close upon logoff. This option is required if you want to logoff a computer in a locked state or want to prevent applications from cancelling a logoff sequence.
Lock Workstation
Lock the workstation. Simple as that.
Sleep
Put the computer into power-saving state designed to preserve your work while using minimal energy.
In sleep mode, your computer maintains its current state in RAM while other components shut down, using a small amount of power to keep the data intact. This allows for near-instantaneous resumption when you wake the device. However, if the battery runs out while in sleep mode, your unsaved work may be lost because RAM requires continuous power to retain data.
Hibernate
Put the computer into hibernated state designed to preserve your work while not using energy.
The hibernation process saves the current state, including the contents of RAM, to a file on disk before fully powering down the system, using no power and protecting your work even during a power outage. Resuming from hibernate takes longer than from sleep because the system must reload the saved state from storage, but it is ideal for extended periods of inactivity, especially on laptops where battery conservation is critical.
