Support for ~/ in output dir #63

It seems that when using ~/ in the output dir path, no screenshot is saved and no error message is produced.

It would be good to be able to use the ~ shortcut for the home directory of the user.

yeah, there is currently no path expansion.. sure there is no message? if there is a positive message, maybe you have a file on your hdd somewhere that starts with ~/?

phuhl commented 6 months ago

Ok, apparently there was an error message, no idea why I did'nt see it last time

gabm commented 6 months ago

okay.. nevertheless: path expansion might be nice

Shell expand is a good option. That allows even more customization, like $HOME.
