Shutter not appearing in system tray

[apj68]

Hi. . . I have had a heckuva a time getting Shutter to work at all. I ran into a boatload of posts of people trying to do the same thing -- make Shutter the default screenshot tool. Seems like some people have an easy time of it and others run into issues.

I read in one post that by disabling it in the keyboard bindings Shutter would then be able to use its settings. I was able to disable the shift-print (select region) using system settings->keyboard but was not able to disable the print button. Anyhow, the only thing I could get working was based on this post which said that using the standard Print/Shift-Print doesn't work but Control-Print does. I found this to be true and finally I got Shutter working using that alternate key combination.

However, it still doesn't appear in the system tray. Others seemed to be having a similar problem but not specifically related to Shutter.

It's a minor thing but I want to pursue it and was wondering where I should look? Is it a configuration (my) issue, a Shutter issue or a Cinnamon issue?

Thanks for your thoughts!

Andy

Hi apj68,

You've probably already done this... but have a look in the Shutter Preferences under the Behavior tab. Mine looks like this and I get Shutter in the tray every time.
