Bug Description
Using Shutter I was thinking about custom useractions. Idea is to apply custom commands to image from Shutter as external commands.
Example:
If I want to apply some custom command, after taking screenshot, with I could choose that from menu with pre-defined presets. (See attached screenshot).
Just plain simple like "command -options %i" where %i image location, then Shutter check exit status and reports "Command successful" or "Error occurred".
Edit presets window should include:
* Title;
* Run type (Terminal - show stdout and stderr to user / Program - show only status "OK" or "Error");
* Command.
That would make not really plug-ins but simple custom commands that will extend application. This is possible already as plugins, but may bee too much for simple commands. Or you can maybe add some plugin wizard for adding simple commands as plugins.
I attached Screenshot how it may look.

I like the idea. Any security concerns? Shutter would execute any command entered by users, e.g. rm -rf /. Certainly this is possible with any terminal as well. Should be no problem then, right?
