gnome-screenshot

[sefs]

Hi there,

My gnomescreenshot current saves to my home directory which I don't like. I alreay don't like that it does not give me the option on where to save it each time. I would prefer a default location of my desktop.

I have gone into dconf and set the auto-save to "Desktop" also tried "~/Desktop", but it still saves to my home directory.

Anyway of getting it to save to the Desktop by default?

Thanks.

it should ask .
do this command and try again .

sudo apt-get install --reinstall <application_name>

in the app name , place that name .

let us know what you got.

The confirmation prompt is only enabled for unity*

To change location in gnome-shell you probably are using the correct schema & key -
org.gnome.gnome-screenshot auto-save-directory

But not inputing location correctly. To switch to Desktop do like this, replace blue with your username


file:///home/doug/Desktop

Hi thanks all.

The first suggestion didn't work but the second one did. I was specifying an incorrect path as mc4man pointed out. After using his path pattern its now saving to the desktop by default.

Interesting. This is the kind of thing that would give you a stroke out of pure anger.
