Change Screenshot Destination Folder

[Lupatrian]

Total Noob Q: This should be easy, but I can't find the answer anywhere! I just want to change the screenshot default directory from my home folder to the desktop (Ubuntu) - either permanently, or by adding to the IMPORT command line. THANKS MUCH.

How are you getting the screen shot? Are you even using Imagemagick?

import MyScreenshot.png

That command saves into the current directory in which import is run!

Change it to

Code: Select all

cd $HOME/Desktop; import MyScreenshot.png

or

Code: Select all

import $HOME/Desktop/MyScreenshot.png

Gnome always like to run commands from the users home directory. Something I found to be particularly painful in some gnome run scripts.

Anthony - thanks so much.
