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?

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.
