Perform action(s) after file move?

Is it currently possible to use Shutter to perform actions after a file move operation is complete? I often move files from my PC to another one on my LAN, which can take quite awhile, and would like to have my PC automatically sleep/shut down when the file move is complete.

I tried the "File Size Limit" event, but if "Trigger when size reaches" is set to 0, the actions are triggered immediately, because 0 simply directs Shutter to detect file existence.

Setting "Trigger when size reaches" to 1 byte doesn't work, for obvious reasons.

I don't think Shutter supports this type of operation, so I guess this is a suggestion to make it possible to use "-1" for the "Trigger when size reaches" setting, to detect when the specified file no longer exists.

Thanks for reading!

I like your idea, and using "-1" value will fit nicely into the current event design.

I've added it to the list for future development.

Thanks for considering my idea. Do you still plan to add this function?

This feature has been implemented in Shutter 3.5.2 Beta.
