How do I disable Shutter plugins?

  • 772

Shutter is a nice software but it takes a while to load. I observed that initially it loads some plugins (eg:upload-plugin). Is there a way to disable these plugins so that shutter loads quickly?

please illustrate how to do this.

    The initialization of plugins should only appear once (e.g. after updating Shutter or a fresh install of Ubuntu). If this dialogue appears every time you start Shutter it is simply a bug. There is an updated version of Shutter in our PPA. Please give it a try to see if it is fixed.

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:shutter/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install shutter

  2. I was seeing weird behavior, where I'd try to start shutter and I'd get a screen saying, Updating upload plugin information. And that screen would just sit there for 1-2 minutes.

    Trying to start shutter from the commandline, it was outputting messages about /usr/share/shutter/resources/system/upload_plugins/upload/vgyme.pm

    So I tried simply getting rid of that upload directory (moving it to a backup location, just in case):

    sudo mv /usr/share/shutter/resources/system/upload_plugins/upload ~/backup_upload

    I then rebooted (which I think was the core of my problems), and now starting shutter works just fine. So whether they were the problem or not, I think I'll happily leave those plugins out.
