Changing default location of screenshot save. #45

How to change the default location of screenshot save? I tried to change the settings in dconf Editor but didn't find any option. The screenshots are saved at /home/user/Desktop by default but I want to change it to /home/user/Pictures/Screenshots.

I'm using deepin-screenshot 4.1.8

If you select the specified folder option, it will always open at the default picture folder (probably ~/Pictures), since it uses QStandardPaths::PicturesLocation.
If you select the autosave, he will save in the last specified folder option.

So probably what you want is to save one time selecting /home/user/Pictures/Screenshots as the specified folder, and then change mode to autosave, so that your next screenshots are saved automatically in your preference location

Deepin-screenshot will remember the last save method (to Desktop / Clipboard / Specified folder / etc) you use, and it will also remember the save location you use. Additional, you can hold Shift when selecting a save method to avoid this behavior :)

I'm talking about taking screenshots with Print Screen button in the keyboard.

Try launch deepin-screenshot from launcher (or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+A if you are using Deepin) and manually choose a save method with a specified folder, then the program will use that method to save your screenshot when next time you press PrintScreent.
