I'm running a fresh install of Mint 22. When I take a screenshot (via keyboard shortcut), a dialog appears to ask what I want to do with it (copy to clipboard, save to file, which file name...).
I prefer the Ubuntu behaviour: just save the image to
~/Pictures
directly in a timestamped file, no questions asked.
I've tried setting /org/gnome/gnome-screenshot/auto-save-directory
to /home/me/Pictures/
using dconf (as suggested in a few places on-line) but it has no effect.
I've noticed that while the gnome-screenshot dialogue is open that gnome-screenshot was started with the --window
switch. Is that hard-coded somewhere or can it be changed, e.g., to add -f somefilename.png
?
How do I configure gnome-screenshot to skip the dialogue and save the image to a file directly?
