Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by inspecting the XViewer plugin project and its existing architecture, then determine whether the requested crop, annotation, obfuscation, and save behavior belongs in a plugin or in XViewer itself; done would require an agreed scope and implementation plan.

Description

Dear Mint Developers,

I am using Linux Mint to capture screenshots but I frequently have to edit them before upload.

Though there is GIMP installed and I am quite well versed in it, but I feel this is a bit of an overkill to load in order to

  • crop/resize,
  • add some black or blurred boxes to obfuscate personal details and eventually
  • add some red/yellow round/square borders and
  • add some text (fineprint) to explain stuff or point to something.
    So basically a simple Canvas we can paint on and overlay / merge with the picture when saving.

Please see the feature set of Greenshot for an idea of what would be good implementations (especially the obfuscate tool =^)

But as I do not like installing and configuring extra software which is not included with Linux Mint / its repository a built in / plugin for XViewer would be really great!
I would therefor like to ask for either a plugin or a fixed set of features built into XViewer to make this possible.
Hmm I know it may require you to rename it from XViewer to XEditor =^D

Kind regards,
Stefan
