Shutter:Workflow

The workflow of Shutter is quite simple:

1. Add events that are to be monitored, and
2. Add actions that are to be executed when the specified events occur.

The details are as follows:

Step 1: Events

Events are usually based on periodic checking of a system state, execution state of a process, or system time.

• You can add multiple events, and also set the logical relationship between them.
  

Step 2: Actions

Actions are executed one by one, from top to bottom.

You can add as many actions as you want, but please be aware of the following factors:

• Each action can affect the execution of the other actions listed below it.
  To avoid that, you may have to change the order of the Actions by moving them up/down.
• Some of these actions are terminal: They close Shutter, log out the Windows user or shut down the PC. (For example: the Shutdown action.)
  Therefore, such Actions must be placed at the very end of the Actions stack. Otherwise the actions listed below them will never be executed!
