Description Luca Ferretti 2011-02-03 13:20:55 UTC 
GNOME 3 no longer "use" Desktop folder by default. Could be good offer a different default place to save.

Note that Background module in System Setting automatilly offers as usable background all image files available in ~/Pictures. So, if you plan to use this directory, could be good create a ~/Pictures/Screenshot

Or simply save in $HOME.

Definitely not a GNOME blocker :)

Saving to the Desktop doesn't really make much sense with GNOME 3,
and this matches where gnome-shell saves its screencast recordings
by default.

Review of attachment 185009 [details] [review]:

dunno, I still think we should be using XDG_PICTURES_DIR instead. $HOME doesn't make much more sense than Desktop.

I wouldn't have thought to look in the pictures folder, but that might just be me...
