About Xfce Screenshooter
Xfce Screenshooter captures the entire screen, the active window or a selected region, with an optional delay before capture. After taking a shot it can save it to a file, copy it to the clipboard, open it in another application, upload it to imgur.com or run a custom action script.
It can be used through its own window, from the command line, or as an Xfce panel plugin. It suits Xfce users and anyone wanting a light, scriptable screenshot tool on Linux.
