better not to use backtick at all, but to use some other ways to run subprocess. Or at least escape filesnames and such.

Well, with a system call it resulted in an error which I couldn't understand (here is my question about it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68628648/the-and-comma-operators-in-a-perl-system-call).
What else would you propose instead of backticks?

If I just revert your previous change, the system call works fine for me. What was the issue?

It crashed when clicking on "refresh" or "apply" three years ago, see #379.
I can actually still reproduce it. The plugin window just disappears and the screenshot stays untouched.

can you show logs of this?
it works perfectly for me, if I revert your old commit

Still crashes as in #379, unfortunately. Note for later, perl-ipc-run3 as new dependency required if we want to pursue this variant.

But is the log any better there why it crashes?

Nope, it's still the same...

well, I don't know how to debug this further for you.
you can merge this PR, of course, but don't be surprised when the next issue opened will be "crash if the name includes the quote character" or something like that
can you try to write a small script (without any shutter or even gtk) which just runs these 2 commands via backticks / via run3, and see what it says?
