Its very confusing to me the way dialogs works in xfce4-screenshooter and the screenshot plugin. if i run xfce4-screenshooter i see a dialog. If i go to screenshot plugin preferences i see almost the same identical dialog. But that is for preferences only. So two dialogs that looks almost identical. One can be used to take screenshots but the other can only be used to change preferences. I suggest making xfce4-screenshooter and the screenshot plugin work the same. That is if i start xfce4-screenshooter and click the screenshot plugin icon i would think its better to show the same dialog. How about showing the dialog with the preview in both cases and then add a button for preferences. Or maybe have two tabs. One for preferences and one for taking the screenshot. I dont see any product/component for screenshot plugin on https://bugzilla.xfce.org/enter_bug.cgi?classification=Panel%20Plugins so is it missing or have it maybe been removed in next release or something?

I don't think this makes sense, in one scenario the dialog is meant to ask how to take a screenshot and in another context it meant to tell the plugin how to take screenshots when it is activated. > How about showing the dialog with the preview in both cases and then add a > button for preferences.

This would only complicate the scenario where screenshooter is invoked via keyboard keys (I guess the most used), because there is no need to access/set preferences, it just remembers the last selected options. > I dont see any product/component for screenshot plugin on > https://bugzilla.xfce.org/enter_bug.cgi?classification=Panel%20Plugins so is > it missing or have it maybe been removed in next release or something? Screenshooter is a very simple tool with few bugs, just select General, no need to bureaucratize bugzilla.
