GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 691710
Save screenshots in Pictures/Screenshots?
Last modified: 2021-05-25 12:37:36 UTC
My Pictures folder tends to clog up due to all the screenshots. :)
Could you explain a bit more exactly what you mean? Do you mean that: Bug 715038?
No, that would be another bug. This bug was about a suggestion to try and put the screenshots in ~/Pictures/screenshots rather than directly in ~/Pictures
Or even better, have the destination directory configurable. An 'auto-save-directory' dconf key like gnome-screenshot would be a good start I suppose.
To be clear, Andreas, this bug report is about changing the default file location, right? This ticket is a good place to track this bug when taking screenshots with gnome-screenshot, but for screenshots taken with the PrintSc key, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729610 must be fixed first.

I agree, I have tens and hundreds of screenshot at a time and having them in the root Pictures directory adds a few extra steps for me as I have to manually clean it periodically to seperate out my Images in ~/Pictures. I too suggest that it go into ~/Pictures/Screenshots
The discussion on xdg-list to add a new user directory, or add sub-locations to existing directories, never went anywhere: 1. https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2014-January/013149.html 2. https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2015-January/013433.html
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-screenshot/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
