Keybinding. Is it possible to prevent multipe instances?

Sounds like a bug. I've configured Shutter this way (using Ubuntu 10.04
as well) and everything works fine.

What version of Shutter are you using? Did you configure the keybindings
in the preferences or did you follow an alternative approach, e.g.
creating a new GNOME hotkey? What winndow manager are you using? Compiz,
metacity?

Regards
Mario

1-I'm using Shutter v0.86.2 Rev.847
2-Since it's confusing which is the master keybinding wise, I've configured
different bindings in different places. I have <super>o configured in the
Shutter preferences, and completely different ones configured in the Ubuntu
keyboard shortcuts applet
3-Am using Compiz

After doing some experimentation I discovered that CompizSettingsManager
wins settings wise. If one launches from here, and has no other conflicting
bindings, only one instance of Shutter is alive at a time. So for now, my
issue is solved.

That said, the keybindings thing is confusing.

...this is actually my first contribution to the "community" since i was just recently converted to linux.
This shutter seems to be a decent gun to shoot at your screen, but I have the same problem.

I worked around this multiple instance issue by starting shutter and using it's own hotkeys.

But there's another issue: it seems to be a bit laggy. Although already running (and the timeout set to 0) it takes a few seconds to grab the screen(s). But that could be related to my high number of screens and the resolution. (3200x1200+1200x1024) on different cards)

That's probably the case, I believe thumbnail generation is done
syncronously.

You received this question notification because you are an answer
contact for Shutter.

The multiple instances issue will be handled in the upcoming version, see:
https://launchpad.net/shutter/+milestone/0.87

There is a lag because Shutter saves the screenshot directly to disk - this takes some time (especially when working with a geometry like that). I think that this option will solve most of the problem:
