I need to capture hundreds of screenshots, each the same size. Is there an application that would allow me to capture a portion of my screen with fixed dimensions? For example, I would like the fixed region to appear as soon as I press the screenshot button then capture it when I left click.

I am currently using the default screenshot app that comes with Ubuntu 12.10 and the feature to capture an area works for me but not knowing what the dimensions are is an issue.

  • No more copying and pasting screenshots to edit dimensions! Thank you very much. Mar 1, 2013 at 1:17
  • 10 years late, but maybe still helpful to others: If you wish to use the selection size feature just by pressing your "Print Screen" key, you need to bind the PrintScreen key to the "shutter -s" command! This way I managed to take several screenshots in rapid order without having to go back to the shutter GUI again and again.
