Maim failed to open file for writing #192

Running the provided example to save a screenshot with a uniquely ordered timestamp, results in the following error:

Maim encountered an error:
Failed to open file for writing: `/home/loki/Pictures/1577364151.png`.

I am not sure what I might be doing wrong, Passing a direct file name argument, such as test.png, etc. works just fine. But I needed this to create a script and would appreciate any help in figuring it out.

Sorry, my bad. Issue with the name of the folder.
