** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #699642 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699642
** Also affects: gnome-settings-daemon via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699642 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Description changed: Expected: Be able to change the directory where the screenshots are saved, either from Settings (GUI) or from gsettings (cli). What happens: Screenshots are unconditionally saved to the Pictures directory (XDG_PICTURES_DIR). Temporary Workaround: Use a specific extension: Screenshot Locations (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1179/screenshot-locations/) Previous discussion: The bug was previously reported 5 years ago on bugzilla 699642 (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699642) and closed as WONTFIX. I'm reporting here again, as I hope the time is ripe for a reconsideration, given how many users are affected and willing to see this solved. - - Tracked on GitLab: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings- - daemon/issues/153 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: gnome-settings-daemon 3.28.1-0ubuntu1.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-45.48-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-45-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.5 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: communitheme:ubuntu:GNOME Date: Fri Mar 1 19:50:31 2019 InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-02-03 (25 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180725) SourcePackage: gnome-settings-daemon UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1818274 Title: Cannot change screenshot directory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1818274/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
