This is a special type of action to control the workflow of Shutter.

The options are:

  • Close application (Shutter) (T) - Typically to close Shutter after taking all the Actions listed before it.
    Effectively Shutter runs just once: It waits for the events, executes the actions and then closes.
  • Restart events (T) - Shutter "arms" itself once again, and waits for the entire set of evenmts once again.
    Effectively Shutter runs the (wait for events and then execute all actions) cycle endlessly.
  • Pause execution - This can be used to introduce a waiting period between actions.
    For example, to let another application close gracefully before taking the next step.

(T) Marked actions are terminal actions, meaning that they may cause Shutter to terminate or otherwise stop the rest of actions from executing. There can be only 1 terminal action used and it must be last on the list of actions.
