Shutter

where did the edit/doodle button/feature disappear? (ver. 0.94 rev 1290)

Asked by Gergely Kovacs

dear devs

before hand there was an option that i could select any of my taken screenshots, and from within shutter i could select "edit" and from right within the shutter app i could doodle/annotate everything

it was very handy to not have the need to launch/find any external app to do it

to which menu has this function been exiled/and/or which was the latest version that still contained this feature if it's been decided it's obsolete/not needed anymore
where
if the latter were the case: from where/how can i downgrade my version of shutter to regain these features?

the icons also look different, and whilst they are nice and modern, i found the toolbar descriptions/icons, more descriptive/self explanatory

please advise as i've been a great fan of this application for long now

kindest regards and thanking your time and response in advance:
greg

Basically shutter depends on unmaintained libraries. A part of them are already gone (those needed to provide edit functionality), and soon shutter will fully be gone.

when i read "shutter will be gone completely" -

was it considered or is it still an option to go open source to outsource the said porting current libraries with the help of the community?

so sad to hear and only just realised what was going on behind scenes :(

that aside, in regards of keeping an obsolete version functional:

is there a way for me to revert my shutter version back to a point where the edit function still exist?

(manually installing packages/locking versions maybe?)
