You can also manually enter the issue number into the textbox. Picking from the list populates the issue number text box at the bottom. In the upload dialog, you can pick a saved filter to see a list of issues. If the credentials work, you’ll get the upload-to-JIRA dialog.

If you elect to save your credentials, you’ll only be prompted once. Click the JIRA button in the Greenshot image editor, and you’ll be prompted for your credentials. Right-click the task tray icon and choose Exit, then start it back up. You need to restart Greenshot for the changes to go into effect. (The plug-in works by generating a class at runtime using the WSDL, so it’s not going to work if you can’t get to the WSDL.) Click Ok to save your changes and Ok to close the Settings window. Enter the following: You can test the URL you’ve entered by browsing to it in your favorite browser. Another dialog is displayed, prompting you for a URL. Right-click the task tray icon and choose Preferences, then go to the Plugins tab.Ĭlick to highlight the JIRA plug-in and click the Configure button.

Once installed, the plug-in is configured in Greenshot’s Settings dialog. So, if you were like me and didn’t install it, go re-run the installer and include it. I haven’t taken any time to figure out how to add the plug-in if you didn’t select to include it during installation. So, without further ado… Configuring the Plug-In It’s pretty easy to configure once you know what’s up, but knowing what’s up is tricky. Finally, I ran as administrator, and it worked. I restarted Greenshot, clicked again, and it crashed. I figured out where to enter my JIRA URL, clicked it again, and it crashed. The first time I clicked the button, it straight-up crashed. While the plug-in itself is slick, the configuration was not. I actually prefer this to JIRA’s attach file process. Click the Upload button, and the image is attached to the specified issue in JIRA. When I click it, a dialog pops up that allows me to pick a JIRA issue from a saved filter or enter the JIRA number manually. I have Greenshot configured to always open the image editor, and the plug-in adds a little JIRA button to the toolbar. I was intrigued and, after my trust was earned, I re-ran the installation and selected to include the plug-in. During the installation, there were a number of optional plug-ins that I didn’t select because I was skeptical of the application, one of which was for JIRA. A couple weeks, I wrote about Greenshot–a wonderful free & open-source screenshot utility.
